JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria ensured that the construction of Pulau G would not be made exclusively only for certain community groups. Although, the details of the designation of Pulau G which are directed to become a Settlement Area will be determined with the private sector. "The most important thing is that all areas of DKI are not exclusive. Everything must be open to anyone. This means that if there are closed assumptions, it is not allowed," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, September 30. Riza explained that the direction of the development of the island resulting from the reclamation of Jakarta Bay must refer to the government's discourse contained in the spatial detail plan (RDTR) and the regional spatial planning (RTRW). In addition to residential areas, said Riza, there will also be construction of commercial spaces, offices, and green open spaces. "Development in Jakarta, not except on Pulau G, must be in accordance with existing RTRW, RDTR. So, developers anywhere in DKI Jakarta must adjust to that," he explained. DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan's plan to direct Pulau G for residential areas still leaves question marks. The DKI DPRD questioned the residential concept that could be built on the reclamation island of Jakarta Bay. Related questions were raised in the working meeting of Commission D for the Development of the DKI Jakarta DPRD with the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government, some time ago. Responding to this, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Cipta Karya, Spatial Planning and Land Office, Heru Hermawanto, revealed that the management of development on G Island could only be carried out after a cooperation agreement (PKS) with the private sector was carried out. In this case, the private sector is PT Muara Wisesa Samudra as the developer of Pulau G. So, later the DKI Provincial Government will determine the designation of Pulau G along with its subsidiary from PT Agung Podomoro Land. "At this time it is taken through PKS. The parties are the government and the private sector. It means that it must be agreed together," said Heru. Heru admitted that the DKI Provincial Government cannot formulate details on the use of the G Island area and include it in the regional spatial plan (RTRW) unilaterally because Pulau G was built by the private sector. "At the first time conducting a development PKS, the initial concept of direction (a residential area on Pulau G) also appeared. Unless the Provincial Government does (the development of Pulau G) itself, then we can determine. We will not be able to determine the zone in detail at the time (PKS) this has not appeared," explained Heru.
