Cihampelas Terrace Becomes West Java Provincial Asset, Governor Dedi Mulyadi Targets October Clean-Up

The Bandung city government has officially handed over the Jalan and Teras Cihampelas asset to the West Java provincial government. The handover minutes were signed by West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi and Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan at Bandung City Hall on Wednesday, 29 July 2026. Governor Dedi Mulyadi stated that the provincial government will immediately take administrative steps before proceeding with the arrangement of the Cihampelas Terrace area. He said the government’s focus is now on technical execution in the field rather than administrative matters. ‘Teras Cihampelas has been handed over to the provincial government and we will prepare the administration to revitalise this area so it can once again become a centre for the creative industry, fashion, and tourism,’ Dedi said. The governor, familiarly known as KDM, is optimistic that the area’s revitalisation will have a greater positive impact once operations at Husein Sastranegara Airport return to normal. He believes that tourists, particularly from Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei, have the potential to make Bandung a primary destination again. ‘If Husein Sastranegara Airport is operational, I am confident tourists will flock back to Bandung. They will stay longer, which will impact the hotel, restaurant, and city economy sectors,’ he said. Regarding the demolition plan for Teras Cihampelas, Dedi confirmed that the process will be carried out through an auction mechanism once all administrative matters are settled. ‘We will prepare the administrative instruments, then hold an auction. The demolition has a value. Whoever makes the best offer will have the right to carry out the demolition,’ he stated. The governor added that the administrative process is targeted for completion within one month, followed by the auction stage, so that the Cihampelas Terrace area is expected to be cleared by October 2026. Dedi also addressed potential scrutiny from oversight bodies regarding the demolition process, assuring that all stages will be conducted transparently and in accordance with regulations. He emphasised that the government will not allocate a special budget for the demolition, as the work value will be determined through an appraisal before being offered to interested parties. Meanwhile, Bandung Mayor Muhammad Farhan confirmed that Jalan and Teras Cihampelas are now fully under the authority of the West Java Provincial Government, based on West Java Governor Decree Number 620 dated 30 June 2026, which designates the Cihampelas road section as a provincial road.
