        "summary": "Deputy Minister of Public Works Diana Kusumastuti has urged that beach embankment management in Bali should not be undertaken independently by hotels or other parties to prevent exclusive control over coastal areas and ensure beaches remain communal spaces. The ministry emphasises the need for coordinated efforts to address coastal erosion exacerbated by extreme weather, with an estimated Rp4 trillion required to fully protect all eroded beaches in Bali. Ongoing projects under the Bali Beach Conservation Project include revetments with armour stones and walkways in areas like Candidasa and Kuta-Legian-Seminyak, totalling over Rp900 billion.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Minister of Public Works (Wamen PU) Diana\nKusumastuti hopes that there will be no more independent handling of\nembankments by hotels or certain parties in Bali\u2019s coastal areas. The\nMinistry of Public Works emphasises the importance of order in coastal\narea management. \u201cIn the future, there should be no more independent\nembankment handling by hotels or certain parties. This would certainly\nlead to exclusive control over the surrounding beach areas. Bali\u2019s\nbeaches must be protected as communal spaces and as a protection system\nfor the region,\u201d she said during a Working Meeting (Raker) with\nCommission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives in Jakarta on\nWednesday. One issue affecting Bali\u2019s coastal areas is beach abrasion.\nExtreme rain events due to tropical cyclones and high waves in recent\nyears have increased disaster risks, particularly flooding and abrasion.\nIntegrated efforts are needed for coastal protection and control,\nrequiring around Rp4 trillion to complete the protection of all eroded\nbeaches in Bali. Currently, the Bali Beach Conservation Project is\nunderway, with Package 1 valued at Rp518.27 billion from November 2024\nto November 2027 in Candidasa Beach, Package 2 at Rp267.65 billion\nstarting in November 2026 in Kuta-Legian-Seminyak Beach, and consultant\ncosts of Rp160 billion from January 2021 to December 2026. \u201cThe type of\ncoastal protection construction is revetment with armour stone or\nboulder arrangements, equipped with a walkway or footpath,\u201d she\nexplained.<\/p>",
