A lot of roles could be facing the axe as the Government looks to scrap regional councils.

The Government's proposing replacing them with boards made up of Mayors in a particular region.

The proposal aims to reduce duplication and put downward pressure on rates.

Boards would be required to put plans in place around re-organising services and infrastructure, which will be checked over and ticked off for financial sustainability.

Otago Regional Council Chair Hilary Calvert told Ryan Bridge says they employ a lot of staff.

She says they have around 368 roles, which is twice as many as there were six years ago.
