Purpose

To transform the Shopping Area into one that South Invercargill residents are proud of, and which meets their needs.

What was achieved:

  • Rubbish clean ups
  • A master plan for the transformation of South City shopping area which included street changes to Martin Street and Elles Road, mall improvements, a community park, and the Whale Tail sculpture at the entrance to Russell Square

  • Upgrades to the mall through developing a partnership with the mall owners, including: seating, removing kiosk, installing hanging baskets, organising painting of the car park lines and disabled spaces, fixing and cleaning mall lights inside and floodlights outside, replanting the gardens at each mall carpark entrance, fixing the broken carpark sign at the north entrance, replacement of the back automatic door and painting of ironwork on Elles Road
  • A Community Artspace and Hub was established in South City Mall
