The Bali Post reports that a large project creating tens of villa units is underway on Kelating Beach, Kerambitan, Tabanan. The Regent’s office told the press that the actual construction at the project site was not in conformance with the original plans submitted to his office which did not show the illegal construction on the beach front.
In a page-one story in the Sunday, June 22, 2008, edition of the Bali Post the Chief of Walhi welcomed the news that the Regent had taken the firm action of stopping the errant project. At the same time he pledged that his organization would continue pursue the matter by issuing a formal “cease and desist” order (Somasi) against the regional government seeking to force officials to demolish the project and return the land to its original state.
