JAKARTA - Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono met with the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the State Land Agency (ATR/BPN) at the office of the Ministry of ATR/BPN. This visit was carried out during the emergence of a polemic of land conflicts in the Tanah Merah area and Pertamina Plumpang Depots. After meeting Hadi, Heru Budi admitted that he discussed the synchronization of the regional spatial plan (RTRW). Currently, the DKI Provincial Government and the DKI DPRD are drafting a regional regulation (Raperda) that revised the RTRW in Jakarta. "The synchronization of the regional spatial plan. A few months ago, I went to Bappenas, then the Ministry of PUPR. Then today I went to the Minister of ATR to convey the concept and ask for corrections and directions from the Minister," said Heru at the Office of the Ministry of ATR/BPN, South Jakarta, Monday, March 13. In the meeting, Heru said Hadi highlighted a number of things, including mapping areas with an integrated transportation system concept, to utilizing central government assets after the transfer of the State Capital (IKN) to the archipelago. "First, transportation. The concept of transportation can enter neighboring areas of Jakarta. Then there was NCICD on the coastal embankment and sea embankments), then the next is the use of post-IKN assets. That's the point," he said. So, did Heru and Hadi also discuss the issue of land certification in the Pertamina Plumpang Fuel Terminal (TBBM) dispute with residents of Tanah Merah whose settlements were partly burned? Heru denied it. He emphasized that today's meeting did not discuss the matter. "No. Bahas secara umum. Tidak ada bahas itu (konflic lahan depo Pertamina Plumpang dan warga Tanah Merah)," tegasnya. Previously, the Ministry of ATR/BPN had the heart to identify the land around the Pertamina Plumpang Depot. If the land really belongs to the community, then there will be a program to determine the location and land acquisition. If it belongs to Pertamina, there will be further discussions with Pertamina. The Director General (Dirjen) of Spatial Planning of the Ministry of ATR/BPN, Gabriel Triwibawa also admitted that all vital national objects, including the Plumpang fuel depot owned by Pertamina, must have a buffer zone with a width of 500 meters. Private or public. If it is private, it is provided and developed by the management of the area. If it is public, both green open space and blue open space that provides it are local governments. "For example, the Pertamina Plumpang depot, if it is private, Pertamina must provide the land. But I don't know for sure, Pertamina Plumpang is private or public,” Gabriel said in Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta on March 7, 2023. "Even though the depot will eventually move to Pelindo land, we will continue to prepare safe buffer zone areas for settlements," he added.
