Rezoning Land for Profit on Private Islands
Clients often ask about Rezoning Land for Profit on Private Islands. This process is feasible in Anambas, but you must follow the requirements precisely—and, most importantly, remain patient.
ROI Summary
- Value Increase: In our experience, development-zoned land can reach a value of three to five times the price of HPK land. (HPK stands for “Hutan Produksi Konversi,” or “Conversion Production Forest.”)
- Restructuring Costs: Rezoning, if approved, costs about US$50,000 to US$100,000, depending on land size and location.
- Timeline: Rezoning usually takes 12 to 18 months.
Context for Approvals
Indonesia created the HPK land concept to support economic activities like agriculture, plantations, or industrial projects while balancing conservation efforts. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry manages HPK land usage. Converting HPK land involves assessments, environmental impact studies, and permits to ensure sustainable land practices.
Recent Changes to the Process
Until September 2022, developers could begin work on the land while rezoning took place. Now, local authorities will only consider a rezoning request if the land remains largely untouched. In other words, on-site development must wait until after you receive approval. Nevertheless, you can still proceed with preparatory tasks—like LIDAR mapping, master planning, and architectural designs—during the waiting period. By following these guidelines, you increase your chances of a smooth rezoning process and a successful investment outcome.
