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.

Children's Day shoutout 💛
What a fantastic day we had on Sunday at Elizabeth Park celebrating Children’s Day! Even though the weather kept us on our toes, it was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and whānau out enjoying the day together.
A huge thank you to the incredible organisations who brought the fun and made the day so special for our tamariki, the food vendors who kept everyone fuelled and our amazing volunteers who helped with set up, supporting activities and packing down!
And the biggest thank YOU to all the whānau who braved the rain and came along to celebrate. Your support and community spirit made the day truly special.
We hope you all had a memorable time, rain and all and we can’t wait to see you all again next year! 🌟
