27 Unlicensed Padel Courts in East Jakarta to be Sealed
East Jakarta City Government (Pemkot) has recorded that 27 of the 57 padel courts operating in its territory lack proper licensing. These unlicensed courts will be sealed.
“So in total in East Jakarta there are approximately 57 padel courts, and about 27 are unlicensed, whilst the other 30 have obtained proper permits,” said East Jakarta Mayor Munjirin at Jalan Kolonel Sutomo, Kebon Pala, Makasar, East Jakarta, as reported by Antara on Thursday, 12 February 2026.
As part of enforcement efforts, East Jakarta City Government through its Sub-District Office for Public Works, Spatial Planning and Land (CKTRP) is conducting monitoring and enforcement action against padel courts that breach regulations.
Unlicensed padel courts or those misusing permits and violating applicable provisions will be sealed and subject to further action.
“We continue to oversee the proliferation of padel court development in East Jakarta. And we will take further action,” said Munjirin.
In addition, oversight of this sporting facility will continue to be conducted by the Sub-District Office for Public Works together with related regional bodies.
“The Sub-District Office for Public Works in East Jakarta together with relevant parties will continue monitoring and carry out enforcement action as was done this morning,” he said.
He also requested district and village officials to actively monitor development activities in their areas and promptly report any violations discovered.
After a building is sealed, oversight of the location will be conducted periodically by Public Works officers and the local village government to ensure no unlawful activities take place.
Through this approach, Munjirin hopes that sporting facility development in his territory can proceed in an orderly manner in accordance with spatial planning rules and applicable licensing regulations.
One recent enforcement action was carried out in Kebon Pala Village, Makasar District, where a padel court was sealed for allegedly misusing a building permit.
The building located at Jalan Kolonel Sutomo 1 Number 22 previously had a boarding house permit issued in 2018. However, the building was subsequently converted into a padel court.
According to Munjirin, this sealing represents the eighth action carried out in East Jakarta to enforce compliance with licensing requirements for padel court buildings.
Additionally, permanent sealing was applied to a padel court in the Pulomas area, Kayu Putih Village, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta.
“We have conducted re-sealing. Previously we had sealed it. Then secondly, we issued a warning letter for permanent sealing of this building,” said the Head of the Sub-District Office for Public Works, Spatial Planning and Land (CKTRP) Wiwit Djalu Adji after installing a notification board at the padel court site in Pulomas, East Jakarta, on Thursday, 26 February.
This action was taken due to discovered discrepancies in the building permit and the absence of a functional compliance certificate (SLF).
During the enforcement operation, officers installed a notification banner at the location to indicate that the building would be permanently sealed.
The installation of the banner also served as public notification that operations of the padel court would be suspended.
The banner read “This building is subject to permanent cessation (sealed)”. It also stated that the padel court had violated Law Number 6 of 2023, Government Regulation Number 16 of 2021, and/or Government Regulation Number 21 of 2021.
