🧱 Kinnara, a Terminated Builder, and the Manufactured AUD $900,000 Claim Against Lux Property
Lux Property has strongly rejected a newly fabricated claim that it owes approximately AUD $900,000 to a Bali-based builder — a claim Lux says is being promoted in coordination with Kinnara and its CEO, Adrian Campbell, as part of a broader campaign to discredit the company.
What makes the claim extraordinary is not just the amount, but the way it has evolved.
According to Lux, the alleged debt:
📉 Began at AUD $130,000, allegedly for “design fees”
📈 Rose without explanation to AUD $600,000
📈 Has now ballooned again to AUD $900,000
All without invoices, calculations, contracts, or any commercial basis.
❓ A Debt With No Paper Trail
Lux states that:
❌ No designs were ever requested
❌ No design contracts exist
❌ No design documents were ever produced
Despite this, the claim has continued to grow in size.
“If a debt exists, where are the invoices?”
a Lux representative asked.“Where is even a single formal demand for payment from last year? Nothing exists.”
🚧 The Builder’s Termination and Internal Audit
Lux says the builder in question was terminated in 2025 after working on three projects.
An internal audit allegedly revealed a systematic pattern of misconduct, including:
⚠️ Overstating construction progress
⚠️ Submitting progress reports that did not reflect on-site reality
⚠️ Claiming stages had been completed when work had barely commenced — or had not started at all
As a result of these false reports, Lux states it advanced approximately AUD $1.2 million to the builder across the three projects.
⚠️ An Opportunity Given — Then Abandoned
Rather than terminating the relationship immediately, Lux says it gave the builder an opportunity to:
🔧 Catch up on the claimed work
🏗️ Rectify poor construction standards
📐 Bring all sites into alignment with reported progress
Instead, Lux alleges the builder:
❌ Walked away from the projects
❌ Refused to complete further work
❌ Abandoned the sites entirely
At that point, Lux formally terminated the contract.
👷 Allegations of Unpaid Workers
Lux further alleges it later discovered the builder had failed to pay workers and subcontractors, including labourers brought from Java.
Lux has stated that failure to pay workers is completely unacceptable and fundamentally incompatible with its values and standards.
💸 The Central Contradiction
Against this backdrop, Lux questions how a builder that allegedly:
🚫 Left projects unfinished
🚫 Overstated progress
💰 Received AUD $1.2 million in advance payments
🚫 Failed to pay its workforce
could now claim it is owed an additional AUD $900,000.
📑 What Legitimate Claims Normally Include
Lux argues that if the debt were genuine, there would be basic commercial evidence, such as:
📄 Tax invoices
✍️ Signed variation orders
📊 Payment schedules
📐 Progress certifications
📬 Letters of demand
⚖️ Legal correspondence
None of these have been produced.
🔗 Connection to Kinnara
Lux states the builder was originally introduced by Kinnara and now appears to be acting in alignment with Kinnara’s broader campaign against Lux.
This follows Kinnara’s multi-million-dollar buyout from the Marina Bay City Lombok project in 2025.
Lux alleges that following the buyout, Kinnara:
⚠️ Refused to accept the finality of its exit
⚠️ Engaged in escalating efforts to damage Lux’s reputation
⚠️ Sought to disrupt Lux’s operations through multiple channels
These alleged actions include:
🚔 Funding intermediaries to lodge police complaints
🏛️ Attempting to involve civil authorities
🛂 Approaching immigration authorities
📺 Seeking to influence media coverage via third parties
🌐 Continuing to use Marina Bay City branding without authority
🧾 Broader Financial Allegations
Lux further alleges that Kinnara:
⚠️ Diverted millions of dollars in client funds into accounts it controlled
⚠️ Issued contracts falsely representing Lux as the responsible builder
⚠️ Allegedly used copied-and-pasted director signatures
Lux maintains it has repeatedly warned investors that Kinnara has no authority to sell Lux-built villas and is no longer connected to Marina Bay City.
🧠 A Manufactured Narrative?
Within this context, Lux views the AUD $900,000 builder claim as:
❌ Not a genuine commercial dispute
❌ A manufactured narrative
❌ An attempt to create the illusion of wrongdoing by Lux
The constantly shifting figures alone raise serious concerns:
📉 First: AUD $130,000
📈 Then: AUD $600,000
📈 Now: AUD $900,000
All without documentation.
🏛️ Regulatory Escalation
Lux has stated it is compiling extensive evidence packages for submission to Australian authorities, including:
🏛️ Australian Federal Police
🏢 State Departments of Fair Trading
📊 Other regulatory and financial oversight bodies
These dossiers are expected to cover:
📂 Alleged diversion of investor funds
📂 False representations of authority
📂 Fraudulent contract issuance
📂 Fabricated financial claims
📂 Coordinated interference with business operations
🏁 Conclusion
Lux reiterates that it builds every villa for which it is properly paid through its authorised entities.
It will not accept responsibility for projects where funds were diverted elsewhere under false representations.
As the situation continues to unfold, one question is becoming impossible to ignore:
❓ How can a AUD $900,000 debt exist without a single invoice, demand letter, or contractual document?
For Lux, the absence of basic commercial evidence is not a minor oversight.
It is, they say, the clearest indication that the claim itself has been manufactured — not earned.
