ITDC constructs groynes to protect Nusa Dua coastline in Bali
Nusa Dua, Bali (ANTARA) - The state-owned enterprise PT Pengembangan Pariwisata Indonesia (ITDC) is constructing groynes as part of an effort to protect the coastline in the Nusa Dua area, Badung Regency, Bali, from the risk of abrasion.
“This is part of our efforts to improve the overall quality of the area,” said the General Manager of ITDC Nusa Dua, I Made Agus Dwiatmika, in Nusa Dua, Badung Regency, Bali, on Sunday.
A groyne is a coastal protection structure built projecting perpendicularly to the shoreline, using construction materials such as sand and stone.
Agus Dwiatmika stated that the company is constructing two groynes (01 and 02) around the coastal area of Peninsula Island, Nusa Dua.
In addition to the groynes, the company is also upgrading and renovating area roads, reorganising access to the Peninsula, improving access to Waterblow, installing waste and seepage systems, and upgrading the access road to Nusa Dharma Island.
Alongside the executing contractor, the company continues to monitor the work to ensure all stages proceed according to target while maintaining high execution quality.
He explained that as of the first week of September 2024, the physical construction progress for all infrastructure has reached 58.53 per cent, a significant increase from the previous achievement of 23.7 per cent.
Meanwhile, throughout the infrastructure development process, the company continues to prioritise sustainability aspects.
The premium tourism area in Nusa Dua features approximately 97 hectares of Green Open Space (RTH), representing 27 per cent of the total area, with over 5,700 trees from 138 types of vegetation.
The total area of 350 hectares also implements a system to treat and reuse wastewater for the irrigation of green spaces.
“We want this rejuvenation to not only improve the appearance of the area but also to enhance its function, comfort, and environmental quality,” he said.
He expressed hope that moving forward, existing assets and facilities can be further optimised to support tourism activities, business operators, and the needs of all stakeholders to drive the progress of Balinese tourism.
