Frustrated by Jakarta City Planning
The period for the Jakarta Regional Spatial Master Plan for 2000-2010 will soon be coming to an end. However, until now, mid-2009, the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has not yet received the 2010-2030 master plan from the Jakarta regional government as required by Law No. 26/2007 on City Planning.

This means that the time accorded has already been exceeded leaving Jakarta in the precarious position of not having a new city plan in place before the period for the old master plan comes to an end.
The Governor of Jakarta, Fauzi Bowo, as well as an array of high-ranking regional officials in charge of city planning, say they are in the middle of finishing the master plan. “At present we have finished the zoning map which we have been trying to prepare at the same time as we have been preparing development plans,” said the head of the Jakarta City Planning Agency, Wiryatmoko.
According to head of the Jakarta City Development Planning Agency, Nurfakih Wiriawan, the contents of the 2010-2030 master plan still need to be explained to many parties. “We sincerely hope that the bill for the regional regulations for this can be finished this year. After that it can be discussed in the regional parliament,” he said.
