Who is affected
Foreign and Indonesian investors, shareholders and directors; PT PMA and PT PMDN entities; developers, contractors, property owners, landlords and tenants; hotels, villas, restaurants, entertainment venues, boarding houses and other rental accommodation; health and traditional-health providers; employers and workers; logistics and road-transport operators; advertising and event businesses; and property, environmental, licensing, human-resources, security and compliance teams operating in Jembrana.
Practical impact
Jembrana has replaced its 2007 cleanliness and public-order regulation with a broader enforcement framework. Businesses and property users must comply with spatial plans and PKKPR conditions, obtain and observe environmental approvals, PBG and SLF, secure permissions for road-space, setback, green-space and public-space use, control parking and loading, and meet sector duties for employment, health, entertainment and rental accommodation. Developers and operators whose projects may disturb traffic must hold the required traffic-impact analysis. Rental operators must hold the appropriate business or operational permission, maintain habitable and waste facilities and periodically report occupant data through the local lingkungan or banjar. Satpol PP and authorised local investigators may inspect and enforce these duties immediately.
Jembrana Regency Regulation 2/2026 was established and promulgated on 25 September 2026 in Regency Gazette 2026 No. 2 and took effect that day. It revokes Jembrana Regulation 5/2007 and replaces the former cleanliness and public-order framework with a substantially broader system for prevention, inspection, enforcement and community protection.
Article 24 makes spatial planning, roads, rivers and drainage, green and public space, road transport, environment, business premises, buildings, social matters, health, education, employment, entertainment and crowds, and rental accommodation express enforcement targets. Scheduled, supervisory and special Satpol PP patrols may be used, and enforcement can involve other technical agencies and security authorities as permitted by law.
Property and construction obligations are operational, not merely aspirational. Persons and bodies must comply with the spatial plan, use space according to the PKKPR or other spatial approval and observe its conditions. Buildings require the applicable PBG and SLF, must observe height and local architectural rules, and cannot be placed in protected setbacks or sacred areas contrary to law. Permanent construction in green open space is prohibited except for permitted public or recreational support, and unauthorised construction may ultimately be demolished or require restoration of the spatial function.
Projects and operations must also reconcile environmental and transport controls. Environmental approval and the applicable AMDAL or management and monitoring commitments must be in place before regulated business or construction activity. Waste, including hazardous waste, must be managed lawfully. Developers and operators of activity centres, housing and infrastructure that may disturb traffic must prepare the required traffic-impact analysis, while non-traffic road-space use, roadside structures, signage, excavation and loading need the relevant permission and cannot obstruct public movement.
Business premises must maintain security, cleanliness, environmental order and customer parking that does not obstruct roads. Material alterations or extensions need local permission. The regulation also prohibits unlicensed parking charges, stockpiling staple goods, disruptive public-space loading and the sale of expired or unfit goods. Health providers need the applicable practice or operational licence and must meet hygiene, patient-safety and medical-waste rules.
Employers must provide a nondiscriminatory, safe and equal workplace, observe applicable wage and termination rules and register the company and workers in social security. Entertainment and crowd venues must operate within their permissions, hours and visitor limits, control noise and public order and comply with alcohol and event rules. These local-order provisions sit alongside, rather than replace, national employment, licensing and sector legislation.
Owners of rented houses, boarding houses and similar accommodation must hold the relevant business or operational permission, maintain habitability and waste facilities, prevent illegal use and periodically report occupant data to the local lingkungan or banjar. Occupants must provide identity information through the owner, maintain order, report guests staying more than 24 hours and avoid prohibited goods, overcapacity or unlicensed conversion of the premises to business use.
Article 68 creates a wide administrative ladder: warnings, temporary or permanent activity stoppage, licence-suspension or revocation recommendations, demolition, restoration of spatial functions and administrative fines. Article 70 adds a maximum category III criminal fine for violations of the listed prohibitions, and Article 69 empowers authorised local civil-service investigators. The Regent will prescribe sanction procedures, but the duties, prohibitions and immediate effective date are already fixed by the regulation.
Late discovery: the regulation took effect in September 2026 but was not previously present in the Regulation Watch ledger. The official Jembrana JDIH record and signed gazetted text now provide the primary-source basis for publication without changing the instrument's true legal dates.
Required action
- Map every Jembrana site, project and operating activity against the applicable spatial plan, PKKPR or other spatial approval, land-use conditions, environmental approval, PBG, SLF, setback restrictions and traffic-impact-analysis requirements; close any documentary or physical gap.
- Audit business premises for valid operating permissions, lawful extensions or alterations, customer parking, loading, waste handling, security, signage, use of road or public space and compliance with local cleanliness and neighbourhood-order duties.
- For hotels, villas, boarding houses, rented homes and similar accommodation, verify the business or operational permission, occupancy limits, habitability, waste facilities and local occupant-reporting process, and retain identity and reporting evidence without exceeding applicable privacy rules.
- Review construction and property plans for river, beach, road and cliff setbacks, sacred-area restrictions, green-open-space use, building height, local architectural requirements and any activity that needs separate Regent or technical-agency permission.
- Employers should verify minimum-wage, social-security, workplace-safety, nondiscrimination and termination compliance; health and traditional-health providers should verify practice or operational permissions, hygiene, patient-safety and medical-waste controls.
- Entertainment and event operators should reconcile operating hours and capacity with their permission, control noise and crowds, and confirm alcohol, public-event and road-use permissions before operating.
- Create an inspection-response file for each site containing licences, approvals, plans, testing and maintenance records, occupant reports, employment and BPJS evidence, environmental and waste records, and proof of corrective action.
- Monitor the implementing Regent Regulation that will prescribe the administrative-sanction procedure, while treating the substantive duties and prohibitions as already effective.
