Billionaire abandons Lake Wanaka luxury lodge build

Peter Thiel news

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel known for co-founding PayPal and his early investments in Facebook, has scrapped plans to construct a luxurious 330-metre-long lodge overlooking Lake Wānaka.

Thiel’s vision included a private estate with 11 guest accommodation units, an owner’s residence, a meditation building, and facilities for up to 30 guests and 30 staff.

According to a report in state media, the project faced significant opposition, including a rejected resource consent from the Queenstown Lakes District Council and a subsequent dismissal of an appeal by the Environment Court. The Environment Court ruled that the proposed tree planting would not sufficiently screen the buildings from public viewpoints, thereby failing to protect the area’s outstanding natural landscape.

The decision marks the end of Thiel’s ambitions for the luxury lodge, with his company, Second Star Ltd, choosing not to appeal to the High Court.

Thiel became a New Zealand citizen in 2011 in a ‘one-of-a-kind‘ approval process.

  1. Good. The ‘Lodge’ would have been no more than a hidey hole drop out place for questionable people who would arrive and leave by private jet. No asset to Queenstown whatsoever.

  2. Part of Wanaka’s beauty is the size it is now.

    You can visit Pete. We just don’t want you to move in and ruin the landscape.

  3. Thiel is a greedy evil b*stard. Good riddance.

    NZ Should not give safe harbour to these satanic globalist scumbags.

  4. It is disgusting that these gangsters can buy their way into OUR COUNTRY after they have shit up their own.
    I certainly do not approve of bill gates, who is closely implicated to epstein, international kiddie for sex/sacrifice dealer, being permitted to own a mansion which happens to be less than 6km from where maxwells yacbt was moored.
    Who do these elite criminals own in our country?
    Luxon? Key$? Clarke?
    The police corporation?
    Who else do these elite criminals own?

  5. Those who marry Kiwis are granted Permanent Residency. Then, 5 years later they apply for NZ Citizenship.
    Same thing in Oz nowadays.
    Many who are here on Work Visas establish and run successful businesses, only to be told to leave after applying for PR, & thus their successful businesses are handed / taken over by the Old Boy Network(s). The OBN will allow for a foreigner to build-up a business, and when the foreigner applies for PR, it’s denied despite being an asset to NZ.
    The foreigners here on work visas find that they cannot re-new the same, then have PR denied, and are then thrown-out of the country after investing sumes of $ into a NZ business. (Double Standards with the government intent to defraud the foreign-born business owner…).
    Word of this methodology of what amounts to stealing a business and it’s labour / investments are becoming known outside of the country, and hence many offshore investors who would otherwise move here with a solid hope of becoming PR’s have now faded.
    The modus operandi is similar to a franchise vs the franchisee- the franchisee invest $ into a business, sets it up at a cost to the franchisee, and then the franchiser cancels the contract, throws the franchisee out of the franchise, and then sells it on to another ‘investor’ and does NOT refund the franchisee their $ back that was used to establish the franchise in the first place …! It’s the old ‘wash…rinse…repeat’ theory.
    Interesting also is the myth that NZ is ‘family friendly’…nothing could be further from the truth! Families are broken apart due to relatives not qualifying for PR, or they have a special needs child or relative, despite the fact that the parents of such a child can and probably would offset the cost of care, education, etc..
    If the child is born here to foreign parents, that may not necessarily be a guarantee of being allowed PR or citizenship, as it is in other nations via the ‘Anchor Baby Concept’.
    If you are a work visa holder, a PR or a recent NZ Citizen, and if you are expecting a child, DO NOT LET YOUR NEWBORN OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!
    Certain deranged DHB employees who are under the instructions of the Masonic PTB target the children of foreign parents and abuse them in ways you will never know about after they are born; ie administering a liquid (LSD???) and not reporting what the liquid is on the medical record, placing a newborn under 460CPS florescent lighting, double-dosing on vaccines, offering SLT and then secretly recording what the parents talk about, writing lies and half-truths in the SLT record, and the orchestrate efforts to remove the child due to falsely-reported ‘self-harming’.
    Then once Oranga Tamariki (CYFS) gets involved, your child will then disappear into a corrupt system, and likely be murdered by a ‘carer’ with the full knowledge that Orangi Tamariki (CYFS) has that the child is at risk but then will pay $300 post-murder to the family of the murdered child!!!
    With regards to understanding who Peter Thiel is, here’s a brief run-down;
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel
    NOTEWORTHY IS THAT THIEL’S PLANITIR IS A SPY / INFO-GATHERING ORGANISATION!!!
    Maybe that’s why he was granted NZ Citizenship after 12 days, as he ‘had the goods’ on the NZ politicians???
    It amazes me that Thiel has not lost U.S. Citizenship by becoming a NZ Citizen…as noted in the declaration(s) when re-applying to renew a U.S. Passport….

  6. i DON’T WANT THE BUGGER HERE AT ALL… DO NOT USE ZERO, IT’S ONE OF HIS LITTLE PACKAGES AND HE CREATED PALANTIER A SPY PLATFORM TO WATCH ALL OF US… HE IS HERE IN NZ ONLY BECAUSE WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN THE ELITE WANT SOMEWHERE TO HIDE, SOMEWHERE LIKE NZ, ISOLATED AND SO CALLED SAFE… I FOR ONE SUGGEST HE LOOK AT NZ’S GEOLOGICAL HISTORY AND REALISE THE SOUTHERN ALPS WILL CRUSH HIM ONE DAY…. OR SO I HOPE… THIS MAN SHOULD BE ON AN INTERNATIONAL WANTED LIST… WATCH WHITNEY WEBB’S EXPOSE ON HIM ON REDACTED … ON YOU TUBE NO LESS…

  7. And yes, please read the link at unlimitedhangout.com which is Whitney Webb’s site…. please read it, she knows her stuff and exposes the links of Thiel to both parties in the US… BOTH..

  8. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/07/investigative-reports/the-man-behind-trumps-vp-pick-its-worse-than-you-think/
    A quick info page on Peter Thiel…
    BUT
    There will no doubt be pressure applied from all radials and spheres on the Queenstown and Wanaka Councils to allow Thiel’s ‘Lodge’ to go ahead in due course, lest the Council Members from those Districts end up charged with a crime, tax audit, or threats to them and their families Ron Brown-style. (Arkancide).
