"It is hoped that the draft RDPN can be discussed at this April Ministerial Meeting. Currently, the stage of the application for input for the final draft draft of the Draft Presidential Regulation of the RIDPN Lake Toba," Basuki said in a written statement, Tuesday, April 11.

Furthermore, the preparation of the Borobudur-Yogyakarta-Prambanan RDPN is already in the stage of applying for input for the final draft of the Presidential Regulation Draft.

Then, KSPN Wakatobi for its ITMP study will be presented at this April Ministerial Meeting. The Ministry of PUPR has disbursed funds of Rp. 13.7 billion to support Wakatobi's development since 2020. Finally, the ITMP study for KSPN Raja Ampat was completed in December 2022 and submitted to the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas in February 2023.

For your information, the Ministry of PUPR has allocated funds of around Rp4.8 trillion during the 2020-2023 period to support the four KSPNs, so that a local government commitment is needed to accept infrastructure assets that have been built so that they can be maintained immediately.

The infrastructure support of the Ministry of PUPR is planned in an integrated manner, starting from connectivity, supply of raw water and clean water, waste management, sanitation, to housing improvement, through a master plan for infrastructure development that takes into account environmental, social and economic aspects.

This ITMP will be an integrated infrastructure planning document to support the optimal integration of tourism development.
