Tweed Council Refuses Nightcap DA

Tweed Shire Council voted to reject an application by Nightcap Village Enterprises for approval to initiate the first stage of a prospective development involving multiple rural land sharing communities.

A report before Council recommended that the application be refused, because of significant adverse social and environmental impacts.

An earlier Nightcap DA application was refused by Council on September 17, 2020, and an LEP determined that no further land sharing developments would be approved in the Tweed Valley. Even so, the developers filed a second DA application in January 2021, that, in stage 1, seeks approval for the upgrade of an existing private road with vegetation removal and construction of a site office and storage area. See Nightcap Village Concept Plan.

Councillors voted unanimously to refer the DA application to the Northern Regional Planning Panel.

Mayor Chris Cherry said that the Nightcap concept, which proposes an intentional community with 392 owners separately responsible, is not an appropriate development for that site, and failed to meet the requirements of both Council and the NRPP.

She said that if the Northern Regional Planning Panel decides the application does not fall within their jurisdiction, the application will return to Council for a decision and will be "refused on merit".

Nightcap Village Prohibited by Tweed Shire Council Standards

Daily Telegraph- 10 reasons why Pete Evans’ Nightcap Village is ‘prohibited'.

Promoted by celebrity chef Pete Evans, a proposed development that offers pre-DA "residential lots" in Nightcap Village, will go before Tweed Shire Council's planning panel today, July 1, seeking approval for Stage 1 road works and infrastructure.

The recommendation comes just weeks after the project was found to be overvalued by $15 million. The application was initially costed at $37 million, but after Council removed unnecessary components the proposed capital investment was reduced to $21.9 million.

According to a report before Council, the application is prohibited by their standards and should be refused for ten reasons, including undue environmental harm and breach of maximum population density.

The Daily Telegraph reports:

"The controversial Nightcap Village is “prohibited” by Tweed Shire Council’s standards, according to a report to be tabled this week. It is expected the development application will be referred back to the Northern Regional Planning Panel for determination due its complexity, as recommended by council officers.

The application is for a Rural Land Sharing Community and associated works over 21 lots which are to be subdivided into 11 lots, on an area of 1584.34 hectares which seeks approval for 392 dwelling plots over 10 lots to create 10 interconnected Rural Land Sharing Communities on Kyogle Road, Mount Burrell.

The council staff recommendation is for the development application to be referred for determination based on this assessment report to the Northern Regional Planning Panel. If the panel decides it is not the determining authority, then the council’s general manager is delegated authority to determine the development application."

Freedom of Speech - Denied

Google Corp has summarily removed ten posts from Nightcap Nightmare Blog, in response to a request by Rose Litigation's lawyer Billy Fitzgerald, who represents the sovereignty activists running the Nightcap venture discussed in this blog.

Although the censored posts do not name Mr Fitzgerald's clients, the offending posts have been censored because they supposedly violate injunctions imposed by NSW Supreme Court on the co-author and editor, Gi Linda, who is prohibited from imputing felony to Mr Fitzgerald's clients.

The injunctions are based on a 2020 Supreme Court decision by Fagan J that although more than twenty investors lost life savings amounting to over $2.5 million after they provided equity, loans and purchase money for land in 2014-16, receiving nothing in return, this represents incompetence by Mr Fitzgerald's clients, not fraudulent deception.

Nightcap Nightmare Book in Progress

Nightcap Nightmare is a book in progress, compiled by those ensnared in a land-share community at Mt Burrell, NSW. Compiled by Gi Linda, the book spotlights a communitarian venture run by sovereignty activists who are selling "tribal title" to dwelling sites without development approval, on properties taken from those who paid for the land. It tells how shareholder deals were made with neighbouring landowner Peter van Lieshout, brother of billionaire developer John van Lieshout, before revealing plans to extend aboriginal sovereignty claims across the nation.

The land-share scheme began in 2014 as an intentional community called "Bhula Bhula Village Community," promoted by Mark Darwin through Truthology and Freedom Summits. When the sovereignty activists seized control of the properties, more than twenty families lost life savings totalling over $2.5 million.

Nightcap Nightmare is a compelling true account of the resilience of a group of angry creditors and their quest for truth and justice on the tilted stages of Australian Courts.

Dancing on a Tilted Stage

"Many people ask me how, for seven years, can this mob continue selling homesites with no DA on property they don't own, where multiple occupancy is not permitted, without fulfilling marketing promises? Where is justice?

It is my experience that their false narratives established errors of fact before NSW Supreme Court of Defamation, resulting in misapplication of law and imposition of gag orders.

This interferes with the true exercise of justice and advances dominant commercial interests under colour of law by constraining legitimate freedom of discussion on matters of public concern.

If dominant political and financial interests are also allowed to profit with impunity by summary imposition of draconian censorship by Google Corp, this effectively subverts Constitutional protections over the right to public discourse and due process." Gi Linda
