A special meeting planned for next month will formally approve the changes, which were recommended by the national body.
Surf Lifesaving Otago president Colin Weatherall said the six clubs in the South had decided unanimously to support the proposal, and it would be formally agreed at a special meeting on August 24.
Surf Lifesaving Otago would then be put into liquidation.
The changes had been driven by the national body and were about streamlining the organisation.
Instead of having nine districts covering the 72 clubs throughout the country, there would be just four regions.
A club development officer would be employed to help clubs in the south.
Surf Lifesaving Otago district manager Phil Hudson will no longer have a job when the organisation goes out of business, but he has applied for the club development officer's position.
A transition committee of St Kilda president Peter Gibbons, Weatherall and Hudson has been set up to oversee any changes, which Weatherall said would be minimal.
They would have no impact on what went on at the beach and clubs who were somewhat lukewarm about the changes had their fears allayed at a meeting last week.
A committee of club chairmen or representatives would meet to discuss any issues which cropped up in the south.
The national body had wanted to streamline the organisation so clubs could deal directly with the national body.
There would be 11 development officers throughout the country to assist clubs.
