Bali Governor Wayan Koster, accompanied by Badung Regent I Wayan Adi Arnawa, carried out an unannounced inspection at Berawa Beach in Tibubeneng Village, North Kuta. The visit was also attended by Badung Regional Secretary IB Surya Suamba, several heads of Bali Provincial Government agencies, Head of the Badung Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Office Made Agus Aryawan, North Kuta Sub-district Head Putu Eka Parmana, and Tibubeneng Village Head I Made Kamajaya.
According to Adi Arnawa, the inspection aimed to directly assess the situation and conditions along the Berawa Beach area. The review was conducted as part of efforts to ensure that development activities in the region comply with applicable regulations.
“In principle, the Governor of this visit ordered us the Badung Regency Government to really take care of the Berawa Beach area, especially regulatory issues and most importantly spatial planning and building issues from this area,” said Adi Arnawa, Sunday (10/8/2025).
Planned Hotel Construction
During the inspection, it was revealed that an investor had submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (Amdal) for the construction of a hotel in the Berawa Beach area. The Amdal is a mandatory document required before commencing large-scale developments, particularly those that may have significant environmental impacts.
Adi Arnawa stated that Governor Koster wants to ensure that all tourism accommodation projects in Badung Regency and Bali in general meet established standards. These requirements include adequate access, proper parking facilities, effective waste management systems, and the use of renewable energy through Solar Power Plants (PLTS).
Emphasis on Development Standards
Adi Arnawa stressed that the Bali Provincial Government will continue to monitor and regulate the development of tourism accommodations to ensure that every project meets technical and environmental requirements. Governor Koster, he added, appreciates the ongoing efforts to regulate construction in the area.
Furthermore, Governor Koster reaffirmed his commitment to taking necessary measures to preserve Bali’s environment. The emphasis on using renewable energy such as PLTS is among the strategies aimed at supporting the sustainability of the tourism sector.
The inspection at Berawa Beach forms part of the government’s direct oversight of both ongoing and planned development projects. Adi Arnawa said that monitoring and coordination with relevant parties will continue to ensure that each project proceeds in accordance with established regulations.
Through this inspection, both the regional and provincial governments have demonstrated their commitment to enforcing development standards that address not only technical aspects but also environmental preservation. At present, the investor’s Amdal submission process is still underway, and the government will follow up in line with applicable procedures.
