Peter Thiel heading to Environment Court over Wānaka luxury lodge plans
Stuff - Otago: 22-Aug-2023
Billionaire Peter Thiel is taking his fight to build a luxury lodge near Wānaka to the Environment Court.
A court spokesperson said that ongoing mediation between Thiel’s company Second Star and the Queenstown Lakes District Council had not resolved issues between the parties.
The case would now go to an Environment Court trial, possibly in early 2024.
Media slant: OK, so is it really critical to point out that Mr Thiel is a billionaire?
Interpretation: My lawyers and funding sources are bigger than yours....
The answer to the subject question is currently: "Time will tell"
