John Sheat, who was nominated by the Tamahere Community Committee, was a foundation trustee of the Tamahere Mangaone Restoration Trust and spent more than two decades carrying out conservation work as well as volunteering in the community.
Fellow trust members Russell Gibbs, Daniel Peterson and Leo Koppens attended the ceremony in support of Sheat.
Charles Fletcher was nominated by councillor Mike Keir for being a strong advocate for the Tamahere community for over 40 years.
He joined the Tamahere Community Committee 15 years ago and has made a great impact by on-going lobbying for local community causes.
Two other recipients in the Tamahere-Woodlands Ward were Lionel and Gayle Orr of Eureka who have been active volunteers in Eureka for nearly 20 years who could not be present.
