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.

Mōrena e te whānau,
Unfortunately we've had to make the call to cancel today's SUMMER FEST event. The weather hasn't given us the Summery vibes we had hoped for! We'd like to take a moment to send out a massive ngā mihi to everyone involved in the support of this mahi & we will bring it back even bigger next year.
Thanks for understanding and keep warm!
South Alive 💛
