Rp 200 Billion Cable Car Attraction to Be Built in Prambanan
Sleman Regency is set to have a cable car tourism attraction in the Prambanan sub-district area. The project is said to have an investment value of around Rp 200 billion and is currently in the permitting process.
Head of the Sleman Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Triana Wahyuningsih, stated that the idea for building the cable car came purely from investors. The Sleman Regency Government, she said, supports every investment that enters because it is deemed capable of increasing regional original revenue (PAD).
“It is truly the idea from the investors. The Sleman Regency Government will support every investment because it relates to increasing PAD; with the cable car, entertainment taxes and so on can come in,” said Triana to reporters on Thursday (7/5/2026).
Triana explained that the Sleman Regency Government is also accompanying the permitting process for the project. According to her, the initial stage that must be fulfilled is the KKPR or Spatial Utilisation Activity Compliance.
From the spatial planning study results, the project location is deemed suitable for artificial tourism development.
“For the beginning, it must have KKPR first, spatial compliance. If the spatial planning is indeed already suitable there for artificial tourism development activities,” she said.
She added that the permitting process also relates to the Protected Paddy Land (LSD) policy, which is under the authority of the central government through the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN). Triana stated that the Sleman Regency Government has directly coordinated with the Ministry regarding that matter.
“The Regent has also directly led to the Ministry of ATR to convey that there is LSD there. The Ministry of ATR actually also supports it,” she said.
In addition, the Prambanan area is included in the national strategic area for tourism destination development, thus deemed potential for the project.
Regarding the route, Triana mentioned that the cable car is planned to have a track of around 8 kilometres. The route starts from the Banyunibo area to several tourist spots up to the Tebing Breksi area.
“Approximately around 8 kilometres from Banyunibo, then to Tebing Breksi and back again,” she said.
On the investment value, Triana said the investors are preparing funds of around Rp 200 billion for the project.
“If the information from the investors is around Rp 200 billion,” she said.
Currently, the land permitting process is still ongoing, including regarding the use of village treasury land, whose authority lies with the provincial government.
“This is still in process for land permitting because there is use of village treasury land which is indeed under the provincial government’s authority,” she concluded.
