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.

This week, South Alive unveiled the latest addition to our Heritage Trail at Appleby Park! 🌳 The new panel shares incredible local stories, including ice-cream legend Brian Simon 🍦, a world record at the Appleby Cricket Club 🏏, and the inspiring story of Eve Poole - first woman mayor 🌟, along with insights from local authors 📚. As part of a community-led project, this 4.5km trail celebrates the pride of South Invercargill and offers local history for all to enjoy 🚶♂️. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, especially Brian Simon and Bill Donaldson, life member of the Appleby Cricket Club, for unveiling the panel 🎉. Stay tuned for an upcoming televised story, showcasing Appleby in 2025! 🎥
