Which districts are covered
An RDTR is a detailed spatial plan for a district. It is being drafted with support from the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning, ATR/BPN. In 2026 the support goes to five districts: Tejakula, Kubutambahan, Seririt, Banjar and Gerokgak.
Regent I Nyoman Sutjidra thanked the central government for the help. He said the regency is focusing on the areas where a plan is most needed.
What an RDTR does
An RDTR sets the spatial structure, land use pattern, zoning rules and building parameters for an area. It shows which land is for housing, business and tourism, and which is for farming, infrastructure or protection.
The plan keeps development in line with the purpose of each zone. The OSS licensing system also checks the RDTR to see whether a plot suits the proposed activity.
Where plans already exist
Sukasada district and the urban part of Singaraja already have approved RDTRs. Two districts, Busungbiu and Sawan, still have none.
The list includes coastal districts in both the west and east of the regency. Once their RDTRs are approved, the permitted use of individual plots may change.
What changes in practice
Until an RDTR is approved, decisions on whether a plot fits its zone rely on the broader regency plan. That takes longer and leaves more room for dispute.
With an approved RDTR, checks move faster, but zone borders also become firm. A plot that looks suitable for a villa today may end up in a farming or protected zone.
The report gives no approval dates for the new plans. Drafting usually includes public consultations where residents and landholders can submit comments.
