Jakarta (ANTARA) - Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo has affirmed\nthat padel courts without Building Approval Permits (PBG) will face\nactivity cessation, demolition, and revocation of business licences.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have indications that there are padel courts that do not have\npermits or do not have PBG,\u201d Pramono said at City Hall in Jakarta on\nTuesday.<\/p>\n
For new padel court construction, he stressed that owners must first\nobtain preliminary technical approval from the DKI Jakarta Youth and\nSports Agency.<\/p>\n
Pramono said the measure was intended to serve as a guideline so that\nnot just anyone could build padel courts in Jakarta at will.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has also\nprohibited padel courts from being built on provincial government-owned\nassets and on Green Open Spaces (RTH).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not permit construction to continue. Thus, all assets\ndesignated for Green Open Spaces shall remain developed as Green Open\nSpaces,\u201d Pramono stated firmly.<\/p>\n
He further disclosed that there are currently 397 padel courts in\nJakarta. Authorities are now examining how many of those 397 courts are\noperating without permits.<\/p>\n
For padel courts located in residential areas that already hold valid\npermits, Pramono decided that operating hours must end no later than 8pm\nWestern Indonesian Time (WIB). The measure was introduced as a solution\nto prevent residents from being disturbed by noise from the courts.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pramono-vows-to-demolish-unlicensed-padel-courts-in-jakarta-1771921972", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
