New Brighton won promotion to the NSL. 

[*] Caversham remained in the Southern League following 
    the creation and entry of Dunedin Suburbs into the 
    NSL in 1971. However, in 1972 it absorbed Maori Hill 
    and replaced Dunedin Suburbs in the NSL. 

N.B. St Kilda-Mornington seems to have withdrawn from the 
     Southern League on completion of the 1971 Season.
