Head of the Cipta Karya Settlement Housing and Spatial Planning Office of Sidoarjo Regency Bachruni Aryawan said that before the renovation, several requirements had been prepared by the Sidoarjo Regency Government.

"To go to international standards, PBG (Building Approval), SLF (Financial Feasibility Certification), and reliably (traffic impact analysis), and the amdal (environmental impact analysis) that we have completed so that it is hoped that the construction of this GOR will run smoothly," he said.
