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.

When you come down to South Alive over the next couple of weeks ~ be sure to take a moment to look at the current Rangatahi Art Exhibition.
This Exhibition celebrates our Art Class students, who made some beautiful pieces during their class time here in Term 4 last year.
A big thanks to Ink and Flow Creative who not only lead the rōpu by tutoring the class each week, but also came in to help install the Exhibition!
Keep an eye out for information on more Rangatahi Art Classes coming in 2026 ✨️
