The Bogor Regency Government, West Java, needs additional land to open a Public Fuel Filling Station or gas station service in the Gunung Mas Rest Area, Puncak Tourism Area.

Secretary of the Bogor Regency Trade and Industry Office (Disdagin) Hartono Anwar in Cibinong, Tuesday, July 9, revealed that the rest area, which currently stands on an area of 7 hectares owned by PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII, does not allow the provision of gas stations.

Because, he assessed that the condition of the Gunung Mas Rest Area was quite congested with 516 kiosks, parking lots, and several other facilities.

Anwar explained that the results of a consultation with the National Oil and Gas Entrepreneurship Association (Hiswana Migas), to establish regular gas stations requires a land area of at least 1,500 meters.

"The provision of gas stations requires a minimum land of 1,500 meters with a minimum face width of 25 meters," said Anwar, as reported by Antara.

One of the BUMDs in Bogor Regency, PT Sayuga Wisata as the manager of the Gunung Mas Rest Area, is currently proposing an additional 2 hectares for rest areas to PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII.

President Director of PT Sayuga Wisata Supriadi Jufri said the additional 2 hectares of this land was needed for various additional facilities at the Gunung Mas Rest Area.

"The trader asked, this is from 516 kiosks that have been built but there are no tourist attractions. So an additional 2 hectares of area is needed," said Jufri.

The construction of a rest area on an area of 7 hectares belonging to PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII has been carried out since 2020-2021.

The construction of the first phase kiosk will be carried out in 2020, and phase two will be carried out in 2021 in the form of strengthening the rest area area and building a rest area monument.

The Bogor Regency Government built 516 kiosks in the rest area, consisting of 448 kiosks and two stages with two types, namely dry and wet kiosks.

The construction of this rest area is not carried out alone by the Bogor Regency Government, but is carried out in collaboration with the Directorate General of Human Settlements and the Directorate General of Highways of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (KemenPUPR).
