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.

💛 It's Mental Health Awareness Week! 💛
Mental health awareness week is all about connecting, and what better way to connect than through a little friendly competition! 🏓
Our South Alive and The Pod Cafe team headed down to take on the Healthy Families Invercargill team from Active Southland in a fun game of pickleball!
There were plenty of laughs, some questionable skills, and a whole lot of team spirit!
As for who won… well, let's just say we're all winners! 😉
Mental health is about more than just looking after ourselves. It's also about connecting with others, having fun, and making time for the people around us. 💛

Sustainable Living Team - Eco Fest 2026, 3 October at The Workingmen's Club
It's easy discussing sustainable living with other enthusiasts at this annual event. There were a number of stalls ranging from WasteNet, veryeco.com custom e-bikes and housing initiatives along with Forest & Bird, political candidates and steam weeding.
There was plenty of interest in South Alive's handouts and demonstrations of The Shrinker! and the budget in-ground compost system.
If you're interested in living more sustainably then call into South Alive next time you're passing.
