Bali Cracks Down On Beach Privatization With New Policy To Protect Coastal Access
Bali Governor Wayan Koster has announced plans to implement a new policy aimed at safeguarding the island’s coastline and beaches from privatization.
Local leaders and communities have raised growing concerns over the increasing influence of commercial interests on the management and accessibility of coastal areas. Many fear that unchecked development could limit public access and disrupt the island’s natural and cultural heritage.
During his initial weeks back in office, Bali Governor Wayan Koster introduced 15 new Priority Regional Regulations.
Among the most significant for visitors is a policy designed to prevent beach privatization, particularly in Denpasar City and Badung Regency.
