The Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency is preparing a new regulation on land technical considerations (Pertimbangan Teknis Pertanahan ? ?PTP?) to replace Regulation 12/2021. The draft shifts issuing authority to the Minister with delegation based on location and broadens the use of PTP for land policy. It waives field inspections for small plots and allows PTP to be prepared from secondary data.

This Draft Regulation narrows the definition of shallow underground space, removes the separate consent right of surface rights holders, and makes compensation optional. It also introduces registration and certification requirements for rights over Space, the Zero Delta Q principle, and tighter restrictions on Underground Space utilization, including the addition of geothermal areas and the removal of residential buildings from the expressly permitted uses.

The Draft Bill strengthens the spatial planning framework through private-sector participation in Detailed Spatial Plans (Rencana Detail Tata Ruang ? ?RDTR?) preparation, spatial planning conformity confirmation, and expanded fiscal and non-fiscal incentives and disincentives. It enhances oversight through real-time digital monitoring and flexible zoning techniques while strengthening customary territory protections.

The Draft Bill would establish the National Agrarian Reform Agency (Badan Reforma Agraria Nasional/BRAN) as an independent institution with centralized authority over agrarian reform and conflict resolution, including the power to modify or revoke land-related administrative decisions. Business entities and their affiliates would face minimum and maximum land ownership and control limits, while Right to Cultivate (Hak Guna Usaha/HGU) holders would be required to allocate at least 20% of their concessions or provide equivalent economic benefits to surrounding communities.

Decree No. 1803/SK-HR.01/VIII/2026 introduces a 10-day framework for electronic transfers of rights over land and apartment units. The framework requires digital location marking and establishes a First In First Out (FIFO) queue system and automatic positive fictitious approval. These requirements are intended to streamline processing while imposing stricter initial administrative compliance obligations.

This Draft Bill would revise the forestry framework by recognizing customary forests as a distinct category, establishing a 30% minimum forest area threshold, and strengthening rehabilitation and reclamation obligations. This Draft Bill also introduces new criminal sanctions for unlawful conversion of conservation and protected forests and failure to conduct rehabilitation and reclamation, while providing incentives for land rights holders and customary forest managers whose forests are designated for conservation or protection functions.

Regulation No. 6 of 2026 mandates the digital transformation of the housing stimulus program, now officially rebranded as house renovation, shifting all planning, implementation, and reporting to an integrated electronic system. Furthermore, it introduces a localized open procurement mechanism for building materials and enforces stricter targeted beneficiary criteria based on socioeconomic data to streamline government assistance for low-income housing.

Circular 6/2026 requires all real-estate developers who are classified under KBLI 68111 to secure formal Approval Decisions for their housing development plans and Report Receipts that acknowledge the submission of required implementation reports. The new framework also enhances regulatory oversight through annual reporting obligations, as well as unannounced incidental inspections, which will now become part of the government monitoring of housing development activities.

This Regulation has now overhauled the framework for the utilization of state-owned assets by BP Batam through the introduction of the Ketupi scheme, as well as infrastructure-specific utilization models and infrastructure concessions of up to 50 years. Meanwhile, the KSO and KSM schemes have now been removed. The new Regulation also requires foreign KSPI partners to establish an Indonesian limited-liability company, introduces mandatory excess profit sharing for KSPI projects and retains the concession limits and sanctions that apply to KSP arrangements.

This Amendment has now reduced the experience threshold for certified urban and regional planners who may lead expert teams that will assume responsibility for the preparation of provincial, regency and city-level Regional Spatial Plans (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah/RTRW) and also Detailed Spatial Plans (Rencana Detail Tata Ruang/RDTR) from the previous 10-year requirement to just five years. This new framework also introduces a ministerial approval mechanism for certified planners with less than five years of experience.
