New regulation on land use permits introduced<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The city administration will now issue land use
\npermits only after developers inform related institutions of the
\nexact location for the establishment of the required social and
\npublic facilities.<\/p>\n
Deputy Governor for Economic and Development Affairs TB Rais
\nsaid yesterday that the new regulation for the issuance of land
\nuse documents is designed to motivate the concerned institutions
\nto demand that developers fulfill their commitment to build and
\nhand over public facilities to the authorities.<\/p>\n
By law, a property developer is obliged to hand over the
\nroads, gutters, school buildings, parks and worship places built
\nin their housing complexes to the city authorities after a
\ncertain period of time.<\/p>\n
\"Before the issuance of the permits, representatives of
\nconcerned institutions, such as the offices of recreational parks
\nand of education, will be invited to a meeting to have a look at
\nthe planned locations for the facilities to be built by the
\ndevelopers,\" he said.<\/p>\n
During those meetings, the officials from the related
\ntechnical institutions are expected to fully understand the
\nlocation of the facilities to be given to the authorities, Rais
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\"Thus, they are also responsible for securing the city's
\nassets,\" he said. \"The authorities will not hesitate to
\ncontinuously pressure developers which have already obtained
\npermits but fail to fulfill their commitments.\"<\/p>\n
According to Rais, a number of property developers are still
\nfacing certain \"problems\" in handing over the facilities to the
\ncity authorities even though they are ready to do so.<\/p>\n
One developer, for example, had to temporarily postpone the
\nconstruction of a school in their property area due to the
\nlimited number of students, he said.<\/p>\n
Rais vowed to prevent the plots of land designated by the
\ndevelopers for public facilities from being seized by third
\nparties.<\/p>\n
He also disclosed that there are still a number of developers,
\nwho refuse to hand over their public facilities to the
\nauthorities.<\/p>\n
Area of land<\/p>\n
He said that the area of land for the establishment of the
\nfacilities, which have not yet been handed over to the
\nauthorities, reached a total of 1,845 hectares. The plots in
\nquestion are estimated to be worth about Rp 3.6 trillion (US$1.65
\nbillion) under the current land price of Rp 200,000 per square
\nmeter.<\/p>\n
Governor Surjadi Soedirdja said recently that the city
\nadministration has received social and public facilities built on
\na total area of only 178 hectares.<\/p>\n
The governor said that his office will carry out an in-depth
\ninvestigation of the 536 land use documents, which have been
\nissued since 1971.<\/p>\n
Surjadi said that the 536 documents involve projects that
\nshould have social and public facilities on a total of 2,023
\nhectares. (bsr)<\/p>",
