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.

14 years of South Alive 💛
For 14 years, South Alive has been powered by people.
The incredible volunteers, the supporters behind the scenes, the collaborators, the whānau, the community. YOU are what makes this space so special.
This milestone isn’t just about the years. It’s about the relationships built, the mahi shared, the laughter, the learning, and the unwavering support from our community.
Thank you for standing beside us for 14 amazing years. We are proud of what we’ve built together and we can't wait to see what another 14 years brings!
