JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria said the construction of the reclamation project for the island G on the north coast of Jakarta was not only built for settlements. On that basis, his party is discussing the contents of Pulau G which will be intended for anything. “ This is being discussed and formulated later on, G Island will be intended for anything, not just for settlements. It will be discussed later, it will be formulated later,” Riza said at the Indonesian National Library, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, Sunday, September 25. Riza said that the island G is open to Jakarta residents. For him, every Jakarta resident must be given the same opportunity and there should not be any area in Jakarta that is exclusive. “ Those who cannot be visited or unilaterally should not all be given the opportunity. What else will be discussed besides settlements, there will be. Yes, it can be discussed together, the closing; Previously, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan issued Governor Regulation Number 31 of 2022 concerning Detailed Spatial Planning Plans for DKI Jakarta Planning Areas. One of the regional planning regulated in this new regulation is to determine the reclamation area of Pulau G to become a threshold zone. In this zone, Pulau G is directed to residential areas. "The reclamation area of Pulau G is directed at residential areas," reads Article 192 paragraph (2) of Gubernatorial Regulation Number 31 of 2022. Head of the DKI Jakarta Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Office, Heru Hermawanto, explained that the G Island was directed at settlements. According to him, an area designated in the threshold zone has not yet received designation certainty. However, the DKI Provincial Government proposes that Pulau G become a residential area for residents. "It was given up, right. But because it's a threshold zone, it can be free. It can be directed there. Above all, if possible, we ask for settlements," Heru told reporters, Wednesday, September 21. Heru said that the reason Anies directed Pulau G to become a residential area was because the community's need to get housing in Jakarta was still large. However, the certainty of the allocation of Pulau G later must still be determined through regional regulations regarding the regional spatial plan (RTRW) which was discussed with the DKI Jakarta DPRD.j "The management depends on the regional regulation. The regional regulation will be determined later," said Heru.
