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.

Last week we were fortunate to catch up with the awesome team at Recycle South and see first hand how they deal with all of the recycling from our yellow bins, and learn about all the other mahi that they do too. Thanks so much for having us!Thanks so much to the South Alive Invercargill staff and volunteers for coming to see us! 👋♻️
We were thrilled to welcome you for a tour of our organisation and share what we do in the world of recycling. The group was full of energy, asked fantastic questions, and showed a real interest in the impact we’re making.
It’s always inspiring to connect with community-driven groups like South Alive who care about sustainability and positive change.
