Community Service Award for Maggie Houston
On 15 April 2025, family, friends and local councillors gathered to honour Maggie Houston of Hari Hari, South Westland for her incredible years of service to the community.
Describing Maggie’s contributions to the community is a case of asking, what has Maggie not done? Her service to the community has reached many areas, South Westland Area School, sports clubs, vulnerable community members, youth, and emergency services. A dedicated member of the order of Hato Hone, the Order of St John, Maggie was invested as a Dame of the Order in 2023 and received her 50 year service medal in 2024.
The Council was proud to present a community service award, a small recognition of her importance to the local Hari Hari and South Westland community.
