JAKARTA - The Sulawesi IV River Basin Center (BWS) Kendari, Directorate General of Water Resources (Ditjen) is preparing the Lasusua Beach Security Development in North Kolaka Regency.

The construction of this beach safety is carried out to support the handling of 10.33 kilometers (km) of Lasusua-Tobaku Bypass Road.

"So, later there will be agroin and breakwater that will be installed so as not to be hit by abrasion. We hope that 2024 can start because it has been included in the budgeting program," said the Minister of PUPR in a written statement, quoted Monday, October 23.

Basuki said that the construction of coastal safety will also protect the coast from the risk of abrasion and erosion due to the waves. This effort also encourages vegetation and residential areas around the coast.

"After the design process, I asked first to proceed with physical modeling for the simulation. The design is fitted with physical modeling, so that the coastal safety that is built will function optimally," he said.

Meanwhile, coastal safety is currently being built at Konaweha Beach, Kolaka Regency, which has been implemented in 2023, and will be completed in 2024 with a contract value of Rp. 23.2 billion.

To date, its physical progress has reached 60.20 percent with a work scope of 1 unit of 400 meters (m) of Groin and 2 units of Breakwater along 200 m.

On the same occasion, Head of the River Basin Center (BWS) IV Kendari Agus Safari said, in Southeast Sulawesi Province alone there are 4 packages of coastal safety development work for FY 2023-2024.

"In addition to the Lasusua Beach Security Development in North Kolaka Regency, in 2024 the Tondowolio Beach safety construction will also be carried out in Kolaka Regency, and Raha Beach Security in Muna Regency. 1 200 m long breakwater unit will also be continued at Konaweha Beach, Kolaka Regency," he said.
