South Alive office

General information

The South Alive project is an Invercargill City Council and Venture Southland backed initiative which is charged with helping the southern suburbs of our fair city fulfill their untapped potential. We’ve set up this page to keep you in touch with what we’ll be doing in and around south Invercargill to rebuild and rejuvenate our part of paradise.

Our goal is to see south Invercargill and its residents aim higher, reach further, and identify ways of making real, lasting improvements for all. We want a strong, inclusive, co-operative community that can work together and embrace everything that's positive about our people and environs. Our potential is huge and with your help and support we're committed to bringing out the best of south Invercargill.

We’re mainly comprised of a large and passionate team of local people who have volunteered their time and expertise to help create a community focused on building relationships, improving facilities and coming up with strategies to create a better place both now and for future generations. The group is continually growing as more and more people are getting on board, pledging support and doing their bit to help out.

Currently, 40% of Invercargill’s population live within our boundaries. That means we are not only responsible for building a reputation for and improving the appearance of a large chunk of our city, we are also a voice of 20,000. So we’d love to hear from you and get your thoughts on what we can do to make south Invercargill everything it can be.

From here on you’ll see and hear more about us as we set about the task at hand. ‘Like’ this page if you want to keep up to date with our progress, are a former resident or even if you just feel some affinity with the south. We don’t mind if you don’t live here as we hope our successes will help build a stronger city and region, and we'd like to think this is a programme everyone will get behind and support.

We are always looking for people wanting to pitch in and help out and we know there are loads of great ideas out there just waiting to be heard. We’ve got a great platform to work from as there are already so many positive aspects and opportunities down here we can take advantage of and build upon.

So let’s get stuck in and help bring the South Alive!
