ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
For more than ten years the residents of the Taperoo and North
Haven areas were without a local full time dentist.This changed
with the opening of Ocean View Dental in the heart of Lefevre
Peninsula in November 2015 by Dr Anna Kanter.
Dr Kanter graduated from Adelaide University in 2008 and was
awarded theWilson Prize for Ethical Conduct, recognising her
commitment to professionalism through her practice.Anna knew
she wanted to establish a practice where she could treat patients
in a comfortable and professional environment and wanted her
practice to be not only clinically exceptional, but to also be a
leading green dental clinic in the community.
Anna has demonstrated both a high degree of customer service
and entrepreneurial spirit which was recognised in 2017 when
she was awarded the inaugural NorthWest Business Alliance
Entrepreneur of the Year Award. At the time of accepting the
award Anna stated “We would like to extend a huge thank you
to all of our wonderful patients for making it possible for us to
receive the 2017 Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the North
West Business Awards.We are very grateful for the community
that has developed at Ocean View Dental. Without the kind
words or referral to friends and family of our patients and your
continued support Ocean View Dental would not be the practice
it is today”.
The 2018 NorthWest Business Alliance Awards, proudly
supported by Port Adelaide Rotary, Peter Kittle Holden and the
City of Port Adelaide Enfield, will be launched onWednesday 6
June at the Port Adelaide Football Club.To register for this free

Ocean View Dental is also a big supporter of the local
community as sponsor of North Haven Football Club’s Best and
Fairest award and also a recent supporter of the Port Adelaide
Football Club.
Dr Anna Kanter, owner of Ocean View Dental, is passionate
about supporting a healthy and connected local community and
this is one of the reasons why she will be enrolling on City of
PAE's supplementary roll to vote in the November 2018
Council Elections.
HAVE A BUSINESS? HAVE A SAY
Did you know that voting in Council elections is open to a
broader range of people than State and Federal elections? An
important difference is that businesses and body corporates can
vote in Council elections.
Even if you are not an Australian citizen, and not on the State
(House of Assembly) electoral roll you can vote in a Council
election, as long as you are above 18 years of age and have
lived in the Council area for more than one month.You can
also vote in a Council election if you own a rateable property
in the area, regardless of whether you live in it.You will just
need to fill in an application form to be included on
City of PAE's supplementary roll.
Because Anna operates a business in Taperoo but resides
outside the Council region, upon application, she’s eligible to
cast her vote for local members for the Outer Harbor ward,
and is also eligible for a mayoral vote.You must enrol to vote
by Friday 10 August and enrolment forms are available on
our website. Council staff can assist you, like they have Anna,
to determine your eligibility taking into account your own
unique circumstances. So if you are unsure about your voting
entitlements please feel free to contact us.
MAJOR SHIPYARD CONSTRUCTION
Recently you may have heard some noise on the peninsula.
This is due to construction of major infrastructure at the
Osborne Naval Shipbuilding Precinct.
These facilities will deliver new warships and submarines for
the Navy. Once in full production, it is expected that over 5,000
South Australians will be employed in the shipyards.
The Osborne Naval Shipbuilding Precinct is the nation’s premier
naval industry hub located within the former Techport Precinct
at Osborne. Late last year, Lendlease was announced as the
managing contractor in partnership with Australian Naval
Infrastructure, to deliver a new shipyard and upgrade of existing
facilities at the precinct.
As a result of these scheduled works, you may experience some
low levels of noise and vibration as the piling work begins at the
site.Work is scheduled Monday through Saturday each week and
expected to continue until late this year. Please be assured that
Lendlease staff are working hard to minimise the construction
impacts on residents and businesses and the project has been
carefully planned to follow all relevant construction requirements
and restrictions.
If you have any questions or need any more information, please
contact Lendlease on 8221 6332
