OFC have basically said that there will not be any expansion for next season, ie it will stay 8 teams.

Though prospective new clubs, eg the Nix, New Caledonia or whoever are welcome to submit a EOI to enter at some future date.

And if one of the existing 8 clubs fails to met certain criteria a new club could effectively be given their licence. Something like that.

Given how gutted Domey was about the Nix not getting spot in the 1st season of the OPL, including some shots at SIU getting effectively the Nix's spot, their was never going to be any collaboration between those 2 clubs in season 1 of the new comp.
