The Southland App is designed to be your go-to for everything Southland – Always on hand when you need it.

The content is a mixture of news and information researched and generated by The Southland App team and links to third party sources of information that we consider to be accurate, reliable and useful. That means that you will need a live Internet connection to view some, but not necessarily all, content of the App.

While we pledge to do everything we can to ensure the information provided here is accurate, we cannot and have not checked the accuracy of all detailed information provided. We will not be responsible for errors, omissions or misleading information in linked information and listings. You should make your own evaluation of the accuracy or completeness of any information, opinion, advice or other content available via The Southland App.

The Southland App is made possible by the advertisers who buy listings. We strongly encourage you to support those Southland businesses who have supported The Southland App. And if you operate a business in Southland, we invite you to join our growing network speaking directly to Southlanders and their guests via The Southland App.

A great deal of information on the App is made available for free. This is entirely at our discretion. We reserve the right to edit, amend or omit such listings, or to request payment for a listing if we deem it to be of a commercial nature.

The Southland App is proudly owned by Advocate Communications Ltd, publisher of the multi award-winning Advocate South community newspaper. We are proud to be 100% Southland owned and operated – bringing you news and information by Southlanders for Southlanders and our guests.

Our aim for the App is to deliver timely news, information and entertainment in a format for today whilst maintaining and upholding the traditional values, integrity and relevance of a local newspaper.
