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💥
The Pantry Village Markets became a regular feature of our summer calendars with the first one in February 2020 following some successful car boot / garage sales prior to this. Once a month between October and April we have had stall holders selling new and second hand goods, pop up in our community park.
Our first one for the season kicks off next weekend on Saturday 8 October from 10am - 1pm. Big shout out to the Pantry Events team who are the great bunch of volunteers that keep these markets running!

Do you live or work in South Invercargill?
We are working together with South Alive Invercargill to create a community response plan for South Invercargill. These plans identify local hazards and local resources that may be used in an emergency.
We are holding two public meetings at South Alive (262 Ness Street, behind The Pantry) on Sunday October 2nd at 1pm and Tuesday October 4th at 7pm. At these meetings we will be talking about the role of Emergency Management Southland in the community, what hazards you face locally, how you can become better prepared for an emergency, along with how you can become involved with the community response group. There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions!
Everyone is welcome to attend and no prior experience or skills are needed to take part.
You can check out other community response plans from around Southland on our website cdsouthland.nz/get-community-ready/ to find out what we will be doing.
If you have any questions come see us at one of the meetings or email us ems@cdsouthland.nz
What a busy weekend we had here at South Alive with Fulton Hogan doing the mahi assisting us with improving our Ness Street side of the building. Also a bunch of busy bees from our Beautification Team along with some new comers to the community garden working bee. The sun sure was giving out some great energy. Thank you to everyone that was involved - Ngā mihi nui ki a koe.
Great job 👍
Good job 👍

Summer of 2015, the sounds of local talented musicians could be heard at the South Alive Community Park.
