Who We Are
South Alive is an urban rejuvenation project, led by the community, with the goal of identifying the best possible future for South Invercargill and ways to make it happen.
It was established in 2012 with a small steering group, which then held a public meeting in April 2012 to generate ideas and decide priorities. Action teams of volunteers formed around each of the priority areas, and have been working since then to develop and implement projects.

We have had a wonderful team of volunteers from the Lindisfarne Methodist Church helping tidy our local walkways this week, and what a difference it has made, painting the gates and picking up rubbish! Massive thanks to the volunteers who helped out and also the lovely ladies who supplied morning tea and lunch to keep us all going!

The South Invercargill Heritage trail celebrated 🎉 another milestone this month installing the 5th panel at Southland Hospital during Heritage South Southland Heritage Month 💚.
We invited the public to walking tours of the hospital 🏥, its artwork 🎨 and Kew Bush 🌿
A highlight was the history of the nursery rhyme tiles and hospital stories. There were the personal memories and storytelling - of catching frogs 🐸 and foraging for blackberries 🍇 in Kew Bush and sharing tales of the dedicated volunteering that enables us to enjoy this ancient forest right here in South Invercargill.
Come and see the newly installed panel on Kew Road soon!
