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.

💥It's Flashback Friday💥
Who remembers when Pokemon Go had us all out walking a bit more (even if it meant we had our noses in a phone). Well we had a few Pokemon hiding around here at South City, and a PokeStop at the Outdoor Gym. People were dropping lures, evolving Dratini's into Dragonites and trying to 'catch them all'.

💥It's Flashback Friday💥
We have had all sorts of festivals over the last 10 years, and in 2015 we held a Scarecrow festival. It was all a bit of fun with six entries, including one living scarecrow named 'Hayfever' who managed to spook a few people passing by.

Last November we held a Citizen's Armistice Day Service with support from the local Awarua RSA. The first panel of the South Alive Heritage Trail was unveiled during the Service by descendants of 24/1189 Peter Alphonsus Scully D.C.M. whose story is told on the panel installed at this site.
This is just the beginning of the Heritage Trail with 8 more sites being added to the trail (3 of them very soon).
