JAKARTA - Head of Strategic Planning and Development Funding for DKI Jakarta Provincial Bappeda, Feirully Irzal, denied that the current Ancol reclamation plan was the same as the permit for the Jakarta Bay reclamation project during the leadership of former DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Poernama (Ahok).
This statement was conveyed in further clarification after Feirully explained the problem of reclamation permits for K Island and L Island in Ancol in a joint meeting with Commission B of the DKI DPRD.
"I have not stated that the reclamation of the expansion of the East Ancol area at this time is the use of the reclamation of L island which was to be built during the era of DKI Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok," Feirully said in a statement received by VOI, Wednesday, July 8 evening.
In a joint discussion meeting with Commission B DPRD DKI, Wednesday, July 8, at first Commission B member Gilbert Simanjuntak took issue with the location of the Ancol Island L reclamation area of 120 hectares. In fact, according to Gilbert, this location is tantamount to the reclamation of L Island in Jakarta Bay, whose license has been revoked by DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.
However, if during Ahok's leadership, the holder of L Island was PT Manggala Kridayuda with an area of 481 hectares, now L Island will be worked on by PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol with an area of 120 hectares.
"I am a bit confused. In the old reclamation, L Island, which previously was 481 hectares belonged to Manggala Kridayuda, why now has 120 hectares of Ancol's property?" Gilbert asked.
Rully answered why Ancol could become the holder of the L Island project. He said, on September 21, 2012, the former Governor of DKI Jakarta Fauzi Bowo gave the principle permit of L island reclamation to Ancol through Governor Regulation Number 121 of 2012 concerning Spatial Planning for the North Coast Jakarta Reclamation Area.
Then, when Ahok led DKI in 2014-2017, there was an extension of the principle permits for reclamation of Islands G, F, I, and K. Until finally in 2018, DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan revoked all Jakarta bay reclamation permits, except for Islands C, D, G, and M. So, according to Feirully, the principle permit was still granted by Fauzi Bowo.
"So, the principle permit for L island was handed over to Ancol in 2012. Actually, the 120 hectares in east Ancol are part of the south side of L island (which previously belonged to PT Manggala Kridayuda covering an area of ?? 481 hectares)," explained Rully.
According to Rully, in terms of permits and the initial studies that underlie it, it is not appropriate to equate it with L island, which Governor Anies Baswedan had revoked in principle through letter Number 1041 / -1.794.2 dated September 6, 2018.
"Currently, the shape and space allocation is completely different from the plan for the island of L at that time, because now it is used for one of them is the construction of the Museum of the Prophet and the plan to expand the recreation area of the East Ancol Dream Park," said Feirully.
Although the Jakarta Bay reclamation L Island permit has been revoked, the DKI Provincial Government still has a cooperation agreement (PKS) for the disposal of river dredging mud from the Jakarta Emergency Dredging Initiative (JEDI) Project with PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol since 2009.
There is mud from dredging rivers and reservoirs that must be moved to Ancol. In order for the form of reclamation to be different from the reclamation of L Island whose license has been revoked, L Island is currently being integrated into the East Ancol area.
"With all the permits revoked, we need to do something about the land that has been formed from the backfill. The land is part of L island, but now it is no longer an island because it is joined to the mainland," he concluded.
