JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Jakarta Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Service (DCKTRP) Heru Hermawanto explained the reason the DKI Provincial Government has budgeted IDR 22.2 billion only for the restoration of the official residence of the Governor of DKI Jakarta this year. Heru said the official residence of the Governor of DKI Jakarta on Jalan Taman Suropati, Menteng, Central Jakarta was included in the B-type cultural heritage. There are a number of restrictions on the rehabilitation of this building, such as the interior of the cultural heritage building may be changed as long as it does not change the main structure of the building. Then, the internal renovation material can be changed as needed, as well as only a part of the building's function that can be changed. "The cultural heritage building is all specific, yes. It takes things that the price must be different. In terms of price, it's actually a house per square meter, for example Rp. 8 million to Rp. 10 million. If it's a house of office, it must be above that," said Heru when met at the DKI Jakarta DPRD building, Friday, April 19. Heru admitted that the DKI Provincial Government had indeed rehabilitated the official house with a budget of around Rp. 2.9 billion in 2023. However, at that time it was only repairing roofs, ceilings, and building walls which were starting to be damaged due to unimproved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, this year, the DKI Provincial Government plans to restore the interior and exterior of the official house. Landscape arrangement and the addition of several buildings such as the protocol post will also be carried out. "This is the governor's official residence that needs to be added facilities. In the past, the house was a (usual) house at first. Well, this is a house of office that needs (equipped) its needs, supporting facilities for governors for example protocol, various things. that's what we are fixing," explained Heru. The Rp22.2 billion budget, continued Heru, is also not only used as a construction fee, but also planning costs involving a team of cultural heritage experts (TACB). "That's why the cultural heritage team asked that the DKI Governor's official residence be restored," he added. The restoration work of the official residence of the Governor of DKI Jakarta is contained on the Information System website of the General Plan for the Procurement of Goods and Services Procurement Policy Institutions (LKPP Sirup). The procurement of restoration of official houses in the Menteng area, Central Jakarta is included in the budget allocation of the Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Office.
