The changing whims of different governments are putting financial pressure on councils.

A report from NZIER has found central government underestimates what its reforms cost councils to implement.

Local Government New Zealand is calling for more assistance from Government to help them carry the cost.

Vice President and Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry says the speed limit increases under the previous Government cost $570 thousand for his council to implement.

He says the Government's new directive to reverse speed limit increases will cost another $570 thousand.
