MATARAM - The Mataram City Government, West Nusa Tenggara Province, will soon have an integrated Red and White Fishermen Village in the Bintaro area, Ampenan District, to increase the welfare, independence, and competitiveness of coastal communities.
The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of the City of Mataram, Lalu Alwan Basri in Mataram, Monday, said the construction of the Merah Putih Fishing Village was carried out in line with the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries' (KKP) plan to build a clean fish market.
"In addition, there is information for the construction of the second phase of simple rental apartment (Rusunawa) in the Bintaro area, as a supporting facility," he said as quoted by Antara.
For the construction of the second phase of Rusunawa, the Secretary of the Regional District had conducted an initial location survey last week, to ensure the layout of the strategic project of the Red and White Fishermen's Village in a comprehensive manner.
This step was taken so that the determination of the coordinate point of the apartment building does not overlap because the accuracy of the data on the need for space is very important, considering that the area will be projected to become a modern fisheries economic center equipped with various supporting facilities.
The Red and White Fishermen's Village will be integrated with a clean fish market in one area, so that the point of development of the second phase of the rusunawa must be ensured to be correct.
In the planning document, continued the Secretary of the Regional District, the Red and White Fishermen's Village area is not only a housing arrangement but is a unity of the small fishing industry ecosystem.
"In the future, vital facilities such as cold storage, ice factories, fishing equipment warehouses, and cooperative office areas will be built," he said.
In fact, in the planning concept, it is mentioned that it is planned to have a boat mooring pier, fish landing shelter, to the building of the biotech wastewater management facility (Ipal) to maintain environmental hygiene.
In addition, facilities such as "cold storage" and other supporting facilities will be there and it is the commitment of the city government to improve the welfare of fishermen.
For the implementation of the project, he continued, currently the cleaning and compaction of the land is being carried out using heavy equipment which will become the main foundation of the market.
"The initial physical structure in the form of a row of concrete pillars has been made on the land that has been strengthened," he said.
For the second phase of the rusunawa project, he said, the location is next to the old rusunawa building and is still waiting for confirmation from the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning and the Red and White Fishermen Village project actually shows more certain progress.
"Rusunawa, we are still waiting for confirmation from the central government. But for the Red and White Fishermen Village, it is reported that it has been tendered by the KKP," he said.
Based on the project board at the location, the continued work on the clean fish market cost a budget of Rp. 496.9 million, which was carried out by CV Graha Utama.
"The project is the starting point before the massive physical development of the ministry begins and is expected to be able to change the face of the Ampenan coast into a more orderly and hygienic one," he said.
Acting Head of the Mataram City Fisheries Office, H. Irwan Harimansyah, previously said that the construction of a clean fish market currently has not touched the roof and other supporting facilities.
The continuation of the market development will be integrated with the Red and White Fishermen's Village project, whose funds come from the KKP special allocation fund (DAK).
"The value of DAK is around Rp. 22 billion, because it is one unit with the Red and White Fishermen Village," he said.
