At least 12 provinces have failed to meet the deadline for submitting their spatial planning ordinance drafts, harming potential investment activities in the regions.
National Development Planning Ministry director for spatial planning and land affairs Deddy Koespramoedyo said here Wednesday they should have submitted their drafts to the Home Ministry by December 2010.
“But, so far, only seven provinces have submitted drafts [by the deadline], while the presidential instruction says there are 17 provinces and 36 municipalities and regencies obliged to do so,” Deddy told reporters after a discussion at the ministry’s office in Central Jakarta.
The seven provinces, he explained, included five specified in the presidential instruction: Central Java, Yogyakarta, West Nusa Tenggara, Lampung and West Java.
Two other provinces, South Sulawesi and Bali, are not included in the instruction, but have submitted their drafts nevertheless.
The seven provinces, as well as 18 regencies and municipalities, have now had their spatial planning drafts passed into bylaws.
Deddy said 16 provinces and the rest of the country’s more than 400 regencies and municipalities were not included in the presidential instruction as they were either deemed unprepared to form the drafts or encumbered by complex problems.
He said the slow progress in the regions’ spatial planning drafting was harming potential investment activities.
