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.

Ngā mihi Waihōpai Rūnaka for a great day of community and connection, and for having us along as a stall-holder.

We got to share lots of kōrero around what we do at South Alive and the successful outcomes of those initiatives.

Cool to see lots of whānau supporting events like these, that allow everyone to come together as one.

Hope you've all had a great Sunday. Don't forget The Pod Cafe is opening this Tuesday at 10am, come and join us when we open the doors!
