Antenno
I reported an issue via Antenno. When can I expect to receive a response via the app?
We respond via Antenno during business hours between 8.00 am and 5.00 pm weekdays, excluding public holidays. This will be to let you know we've received your Antenno report and passed it on to the relevant department to be actioned. Any further response will come directly from that department via email or phone.
Why do I have to save places as specific addresses, why can't I save the whole city, district, region?
The aim of Antenno is to provide relevant information for places you care about. If it was broader, Antenno posts would start to resemble a social media feed that you need to sift through to find messages relevant to you. If something comes up that affects the entire district, you'll still receive a notification.
Can I opt out of a topic for a specific place?
Yes, even if the places are in the same suburb. As an example, if you save your work address (where you don't want to receive recycling reminders) and your home address (where you DO want to receive recycling reminders), you can choose to opt out of receiving recycling reminders for your work address.
Can I opt back in to a topic that I have opted out of?
Not at this stage, but very soon yes you will be able to.
Can I respond?
If you've found the post useful, you can thank us using the thumbs up icon. If you have an issue or feedback you'd like to send to Environment Southland, use the Reports function to send us a report.
Sometimes notifications seem to be delayed - why?
The app requires either a WiFi connection or mobile data to receive notifications. If you are somewhere without WiFi and don't have your mobile data on, you won't receive new posts until you are connected again.
Sometimes I don't receive a notification for weeks - why?
If there hasn't been any incidents or information relevant to your saved places you won't be sent any notifications! Don't worry – Antenno will let you know when something happens.
How do you choose which posts go to which devices or places?
When Council has a message to send we assess which parts of the district would find the message relevant. For instance:
- A major flooding event would be sent to the whole district, while a localised flooding event may only be relevant to residents of that area.
- A rates reminder would be sent district wide.
If I have multiple places saved, how do I know which place a notification relates to?
Each notification shows which of your saved places it relates to, by displaying the places' nickname at the top left.
For example, if you have saved three places (your home, your work and your rental property for example) you will see that for a rates reminder (a district wide message) all three nicknames appear at the top as this post is relevant to all three places.
