The Invercargill Herald is an independent, locally owned news site for Invercargill and Southland.

We report on the decisions made at the council table and in Wellington that affect the south, on the businesses and farms that drive the Southland economy, on the Stags, the Steel and the Sharks, and on the people, clubs and events that make this a good place to live.

Our newsroom is based in Invercargill. Stories are published online as they happen and the site is updated throughout the day, seven days a week.

Corrections

We aim to get things right. If you believe we have published something inaccurate, please contact the newsroom and we will look into it promptly and correct the record where needed.
