A legal letter issued by Indonesian law firm Bali Legal Partnership has escalated the already bitter dispute surrounding the Marina Bay City project, with lawyers acting for Jamie McIntyre arguing that any Australian Federal Court proceedings initiated by Adrian Campbell should be challenged on jurisdictional and procedural grounds.
The May 21, 2026 correspondence, addressed to Australian firm Marino Law, states that Jamie McIntyre “does not accept nor submit to the jurisdiction of the Australian Federal Court” in proceedings allegedly commenced by Adrian Campbell.
According to the letter, the dispute stems from the management and operation of Indonesian foreign investment companies connected to the Marina Bay City development, including PT Marina Bay Investments (MBI) and PT Bali Real Estate Investments (BRIE). The lawyers state that both Campbell and McIntyre hold indirect interests in MBI and that disputes over the handling of company funds are “currently under investigation by the Australian Federal Police” following complaints allegedly initiated by McIntyre.
The Indonesian legal team further claims that Adrian Campbell has previously threatened defamation proceedings against Australian investors and others connected to the project who made fraud complaints or challenged his conduct.
Indonesia, Not Australia, Is the Proper Forum
The letter argues that Australia is an inappropriate jurisdiction for the dispute because:
* Jamie McIntyre is a lawful temporary resident of Indonesia.
* Adrian Campbell is alleged to reside in Thailand.
* The dispute relates entirely to Indonesian property development activities.
* Similar proceedings have already been commenced in Indonesia.
Lawyers for McIntyre point specifically to an Indonesian civil proceeding already underway in the Denpasar District Court, identified as case number 469/Pdt.G/2026/PN.Dps. They argue that launching parallel proceedings in Australia over the same issues constitutes “an abuse of process.”
Serious Allegations Raised
The letter also outlines a series of allegations against Adrian Campbell and entities allegedly connected to him. These allegations have not been proven in court and remain disputed.
Among the allegations listed are claims of:
* interference with contractual relations involving MBI and BRIE,
* failure to account for investor funds,
* misrepresentation of the resources and experience of “Kinnara Asia,”
* filing false complaints in Indonesia,
* trespass,
* fraud,
* and participation in a broader civil conspiracy involving former directors and third parties connected to the companies.
The Indonesian lawyers further allege that the conduct described resulted in substantial financial losses, missing funds, and the alleged unlawful disclosure of confidential company information.
Service and Security for Costs
Bali Legal Partnership also argues that no proper attempt has been made to serve Australian court documents in accordance with Indonesian legal requirements.
The letter warns that if proceedings continue in Australia, McIntyre intends to seek to have them struck out on grounds including improper service, abuse of process, and forum inconvenience.
In addition, the lawyers state they would seek security for legal costs from Campbell as a non-resident plaintiff should the matter proceed.
The correspondence concludes by requesting that the letter be placed before the court and brought to the attention of the presiding judge.

Lux Projects Bali Acquires 100% Stake in Marina Bay City, Lombok
Lombok, Indonesia — November 4th, 2025
Lux Projects Bali has officially announced the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in Marina Bay Investments, from its former partner Kinarra, an Asian real estate platform, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition gives Lux Projects Bali full ownership and control of the coastal development and positions it for a major new phase of growth and community-driven transformation.
A New Vision for Marina Bay City
Following the change in ownership, the newly appointed management has already assumed control and initiated a comprehensive master plan revision. The updated vision for Marina Bay City represents a shift away from the original high-rise style city model toward a more eco-sustainable mini-city featuring interconnected village-style communities. The decision follows extensive community and environmental feedback, emphasizing the importance of preserving the island’s natural beauty and ensuring tha t growth aligns with Lombok’s culture and environment. “Our vision is to create Indonesia’s first properly planned city that works hand-in-hand with nature,” said a spokesperson for Lux Projects Bali. “People are drawn to Marina Bay City because of its pristine beaches and peaceful surroundings — and it’s essential we protect that as the foundation of the community’s future.”
Sustainability and Community at the Core
The redesigned plan includes significant environmental and social commitments, including: A minimum of 60% local employment, ensuring direct economic benefits to the surrounding community. An emphasis on low-impact architecture, renewable energy systems, and green infrastructure. More residential housing options, catering not only to investors and tourists but also to expats and locals seeking long-term living solutions. With rising unaffordability in Western countries such as Australia, Europe, and the United States, Marina Bay City aims to become an attractive relocation hub for digital nomads, retirees, and entrepreneurs seeking a higher quality of life in a natural coastal setting.
Positioned as an Affordable Global Destination
With the rising unaffordability of nearby cities such as Singapore, Perth (Australia), and Dubai—where many expats have recently relocated—Marina Bay City seeks to position itself as a more affordable, yet equally world-class alternative. Set along stunning white-sand beaches, the development offers a lifestyle that blends natural beauty, cutting-edge infrastructure, and abundant opportunity. The city aims to become a global magnet for digital nomads, fintech innovators, medical tourism, and startup founders looking for a destination that combines affordability with lifestyle excellence. “If you wish to live surrounded by beauty, with opportunity and community, Marina Bay City is that place,” the spokesperson said. “We’re building not just a city, but a destination where people from around the world can live, work, and thrive.”
Lux Projects Bali Shifts Focus to Lombok
Lux Projects Bali (www.luxprojectsbali.com) stated that it will not take on any additional projects in Bali, with its three current developments — including a 100 Villa Resort, a separate Hotel Project under one of its brands, Hotel K in Seminyak, and a Wellness Retreat in Tabanan — all scheduled for completion by the last quarter of 2026. The company confirmed that its focus will now shift toward accelerating construction at Marina Bay City, which is already underway. The initial phase, including the resort, villas, and water sports facilities, is expected to open to tourists as early as March 2027. As part of its promotional initiatives, the company is currently offering $15,000 Deposit Grants for buyers investing in Marina Bay City, as well as $500 accommodation credits for visitors who stay in the city in 2027 — a strategy designed to both reward early supporters and attract global interest in the new coastal destination.
Major Infrastructure Additions Planned
The long-term master plan for Marina Bay City also includes: A world-class convention centre to host regional and international events. A sports stadium and athletic complex to support both community recreation and national-level competitions. A comprehensive sports centre and beachfront wellness facilities, promoting health, fitness, and lifestyle tourism. These developments will serve both the local community and the growing international population expected to settle in Lombok over the next decade.
A City Built for the Future
Lux Projects Bali envisions Marina Bay City as a model for sustainable urban development in Indonesia, one that addresses modern challenges such as pollution, congestion, and urban sprawl while promoting self-sufficient, eco-friendly growth. “We’re very excited about the future for Marina Bay City,” the spokesperson added. “This is a city built for balance — between nature and progress, between global opportunity and local culture. Lombok’s future deserves nothing less.”
