In relation to PKKPR, Minister Nusron urged property business actors to check regional spatial planning (RTRW) and detailed spatial planning (RDTR) in their respective areas, so there is no discrepancies in space utilization.
"Please check, because not all regions have spatial planning (RTR). Currently there are only 553 RDTRs, even though we are targeting 2,000. For this reason, we have agreed with Home Affairs Minister that the new elected regional heads to prepare RDTRs, because it will make it easier for business world," he said.
Aspects of control in the use of land and space are also necessary. It is known that the conversion of rice field reaches 100-150 thousand hectares per year. This is not in line with President Prabowo Subianto's direction regarding food self-sufficiency.
"Therefore, in this regulation you can take rice fields but you have to replace them with new rice fields. We also prepare a Government Regulation (PP) on national sustainable food agricultural land (LP2B) to accomodate if there is no land available in a province it can be proposed in other province for a replacement. Insha Allah in the first quarter of 2025 the target will be PP," he explained.
Miniser Nusron also stated that he would continue to strive for transformation of land services, including certification, mortgage and roya services.
He is committed to finding solution in ATR Ministry/BPN services so there is no illegal levies. "We have to transform, but we need time to tidy up these services," he concluded.
