Mr Robbie was nominated for his extensive efforts beautifying Lawrence and surrounds, including helping provide picnic facilities, maintenance and native plantings at some of the town’s amenities.
He said he was "delighted and humbled" to have been nominated.
"It’s important to do your bit in a small town, as it makes everything work properly.
"It’s satisfying to know somebody’s appreciative of your small contribution."
A leg to roast was "a treat".
He thanked his nominator and Silver Fern Farms for the award.
