Nightcap Nightmare!


Local opposition to Nightcap Village proposal, 2008

The first attempt to build a Village in an environmentally protected Tweed valley began in 2007 by landowner Peter van Lieshout, when his wife, Joan van Lieshout was Tweed Mayor. 

Despite a storm of local opposition, development approval was granted in 2009. However, Peter van Lieshout was unable to complete necessary infrastructure, the venture failed and development approval lapsed.

In 2006 Nimbin GoodTimes reported local opposition to a proposal for a "Village Community" in Tweed Valley: "Nightcap Nightmare: Tweed "Village" proposal sounds alarm bells".

The project was rebirthed in 2016, when Peter van Lieshout made shareholder agreements with Sovereignty Activists controlling a failed neighbouring venture, Bhula Bhula Village Community, that left purchase money creditors disenfranchised. 

In collaboration with Peter van Lieshaupt, the Sovereignty Activists began advertising residential lots on the adjoining land with Tyler Tolman, son of American health celebrity, Don Tolman.

Free Speech - Denied!

Google Corp has summarily removed most of the posts on  "Nightcap Nightmare Blog"  in response to a request by lawyer Billy Fitzgerald, Rose Litigation, whose clients are featured in this blog and the book  "Nightmare on Minjugbal" . The posts have been censored because they supposedly violate injunctions imposed by NSW Supreme Court on disenfranchised investor Gi Linda, the co-author and editor of this blog, who is prohibited from imputing fraud to Billy Fitzgerald's clients with regard to their land-share scheme at Mt Burrell that is now called "Nightcap on Minjungbal" . The gag order is based on Judge Fagan's 2019 decision that although more than 20 investors lost life savings when they paid purchase money for land in 2014-16, and received nothing in return, this cannot be described as a " scam ".  Fagan J reasoned that failure to fulfil marketing representations was a consequence of incompetence, and not deception or fraud by Mr Fitzg...
