Why does Nyoman Sugite think the Bali Mandara toll road is not a necessary project?
-Nyoman Sugite thinks the Bali Mandara toll road was not built based on actual traffic needs.

Outlines
🌊 The Struggles of Reclamation and Rising Sea Levels
This paragraph discusses the ongoing reclamation of Benoa Bay, highlighting the environmental impact and concerns raised by locals. A person named Nyoman expresses frustration about rising sea levels that affect his business, explaining that the reclamation project has caused seawater to flood his property. He believes the natural tidal changes are being exacerbated by human intervention, particularly reclamation efforts. Nyoman's business, with 50 employees, is suffering due to the declining quality of tourism in Bali, which he attributes to increased competition, lower-quality tourists, and a rise in the number of hotels.
🏗️ Transparency Issues in Development Plans
The second paragraph covers a discussion on the lack of transparency surrounding the development of infrastructure, particularly the Bali Mandara Toll Road. Nyoman and other Bali residents were unaware of the connection between the construction of the toll road and the reclamation of Benoa Bay until it was too late. Nyoman believes the toll road was built to serve future developments, such as a proposed island, rather than to alleviate traffic. The toll road has been financially unsuccessful, which Nyoman interprets as a sign that the infrastructure was built without proper traffic demand in mind.
👏 Public Protest Against Reclamation
This brief paragraph features applause and indicates public sentiment surrounding the reclamation project. Although many have protested the reclamation, the plan shows no signs of stopping. Public forums have been held, with some participants supporting the project for its potential to create jobs and attract tourists, while others fear it will damage Bali’s culture and environment.

Highlights
The reclamation project at Teluk Benoa is moving forward despite resistance, with the site now being developed for marine tourism activities such as diving and water sports.
Nyoman Sugite, a business owner, expresses concerns about the impact of reclamation on the tourism industry, noting that tourism has declined over the past 10-15 years due to increased competition and lower-quality tourists.
There is frustration among locals regarding the lack of transparency in the reclamation planning process, particularly about the construction of the Bali Mandara Toll Road, which many believe is part of the reclamation strategy.
The toll road was built to connect Nusa Dua, Ngurah Rai Airport, and Tanjung Benoa, but it has faced financial losses due to fewer vehicles than expected, with reports of a loss of Rp3 billion per month.
Nyoman suggests that the toll road was built under the guise of solving traffic congestion, but he believes it primarily serves investors rather than addressing local needs.
A public consultation forum held on March 11, 2015, revealed a divided opinion about the reclamation, with some supporting it for economic growth and job creation, while others opposed it for its environmental impact.
PT Tirta Wahana Bali International, the main investor, defends the project, claiming that they will contribute to environmental protection by cleaning up the area and revitalizing the Teluk.
Critics argue that the reclamation will destroy Bali's cultural and nature-based tourism model, which has thrived without the need for major land developments.
Nyoman links the construction of the toll road directly to the planned reclamation, stating that the road’s tapered structures will eventually connect to the artificial islands being built as part of the project.
There are concerns that Bali’s tourism quality has declined due to the oversaturation of hotels and price wars, leading to a less affluent tourist base.
The investor believes that by taking responsibility for the environmental cleanup, they will also add value to the property and create an attractive area for future development.
Nyoman speculates that the investor’s claims of revitalizing the area are part of a broader effort to push the property’s market value to levels unaffordable for the local community.
The consultation process has been criticized for failing to adequately involve local communities, leaving them feeling sidelined by corporate interests.
Environmental groups and local business owners fear that the reclamation will lead to the destruction of marine ecosystems and local fishing industries.
In contrast to the reclamation efforts, some areas of Bali, like the village of Tenganan, have successfully resisted large-scale tourism development while still attracting a significant number of tourists, preserving their cultural heritage.

makanya saat sekarang ini saya
memuas-muaskan diri Pak untuk mengambil
dokumentasi dokumenter fo-oainya saja
reklamasi Ini akhirnya berjalan juga
gitu melayani jasa wisata bahari seperti
menyelam atau olahraga air lainnya di
halaman depannya terbentang Teluk Benoa
yang hendak direklamasi musim hujan ya
ya lebih banyak kita bulan-bulan ini
melakukan perbaikan pemeliharaan I
pemeliharaan
barang-barang ia termasuk yang gusar
dengan informasi dan foto-foto tentang
Teluk Benoa yang disebut-sebut telah
rusak dan digambarkan hanya tinggal
Padang lumpur agar mudah diuruk
faktanya ia bahkan baru saja membangun
tanggul karena air laut pasang Dari
Teluk menggenangi kolam renangnya ini
kemarin Pak kenapa saya bikin sandaran
seperti ini dalam kondisi belum
reklamasi aja ini harus sudah
naik jadi inilah batas ini batas ini
kadang kemarin sampai naik ke
permukaan ini sebelum ini ini belum
reklamasi aja nih air sudah naik bisa
dibayangkan enggak Jadi sebenarnya surut
dan pasangnya Air ini peristiwa alam
saja Sebenarnya ya setuju sudah alam
karena ketika pasang toh sampai tinggi
setuju Jadi bukan pendangkalan yang
terjadi sebenarnya
okah bagi Nyoman sugite yang memiliki 50
karyawan ini reklamasi Teluk Benoa akan
memperburuk bisnis pariwisata yang
bahkan sudah mulai menurun dalam 15
hingga 10 tahun
terakhir Kalau boleh dibilang jujur
turun dan kualitas tourismnya juga tidak
sama dengan 10 15 tahun yang lalu apa
faktornya ya mungkin terlalu banyak
semua ini kan gempit Ya kalau pertama
Kalau boleh kita bilang jujur mungkin
karena persaingan harga pertama kedua
Hotel terlalu banyak menjamur di di di
Bali Sudah perang tarif segala macam Ya
otomatis jadi tamu-tamu yang datang ke
Bali itu sudah tamu e menengah ke bawah
gitu loh begitu pun dengan usaha yang
kita jalani saat ini saking begitu
banyaknya persaingan akhirnya mereka
juga jadinya sering perang tarif
begitu Ia juga menggugat pemerintah yang
tidak transparan dalam rencana
pengembangan kawasan ini awal 2012 tol
Bali Mandara sepanjang 12 Km ini mulai
dibangun saat itu Nyoman dan warga Bali
lainnya belum mendengar rencana
reklamasi Teluk Benoa Jalan Tol ini
sendiri menghubungkan Nusa 2 Bandara
Ngurah Rai dan Tanjung Benoa yang
melintas dan membelah Teluk namun di
akhir tahun 2012 Nyoman mulai menduga
pembangunan jalan tol ini ada kaitannya
dengan rencana reklamasi dari sana aja
kelihatan tapernya nanti yang di mana
taper-taper itu akan dihubungkan ke ke
pulau yang dibangun nantinya kan gitu
kan akses ke airport dekat berarti untuk
menghindari kemacetan yang selama ini
kita memang sering dihadapkan k maacatan
dari Nusa 2
pertama itu jelas itu bagian dari
reklamasi Saya yakin itu lihat sendiri
berapa mobil sih yang lewat dalam
sehari katan sekali bisa diitung dengan
jari Saya punya pemikiran seperti karena
saya meyakin itulah bagian dari rekamasi
dari awal dan itu pun tidak pernah
dipublikasikan tidak pernah dibicarakan
jadi infrastruktur ini dibangun
seolah-olah untuk memudahkan akses
masyarakat padahal untuk kepentingan
investasi Iya meminimalisir kemacetan
apa Apun alasannya yang jelas itu adalah
bagian Reklamasi itu saya yakin
sekali tol ini sendiri secara bisnis
memang merugi karena jumlah kendaraan
yang melintas hanya 43.000 per hari atau
di bawah perkiraan 51.000 kendaraan maka
tak heran bila pada Oktober 2015 PT Jasa
Marga Bali tol mengumumkan kerugiannya
mencapai Rp3 miliar setiap bulan bagi
pengusaha seperti Nyoman Hal itu
merupakan indikasi bahwa jalan tol yang
30% sahamnya dimiliki Pemprov Bali dan
pemkap Bandung itu memang tidak dibangun
dengan pertimbangan kebutuhan lalu
lintas
semua semua terjun ke lapangan kemarin
jadi di tempat ini Pak ya di tempat
inilah kita
mendiskusikan
perencanaan gerakan Bagimana sistem yang
akan diterapkan
Nantinya di sinilah tempatnya
[Musik]
J Ju maju J Bu maju merdeka
[Tepuk tangan]

t e
pemanc
yang meski diprotes banyak pihak rencana
reklamasi tidak ada tanda-tanda berhenti
11 Maret 2015 sebuah forum konsultasi
publik digelar di kantor
gubernur sebagian yang hadir menyatak
dukungan karena akan mendatangkan lebih
banyakis dan menciptak lapangan kerja
sebagian yang lain menolak karena
turisme di Bali dianggap sudah cukup dan
konsep wisatanya berbasis budaya
reklamasi juga dianggap akan merus
yang hadir bahkan meninggalkan pertemuan
yang belum selesai dengan berbagai sebab
dan
alasan usai forum Inilah Kami menemui
calon investor Direktur Utama PT Tirta
Wahana Bali internasal untuk
mendengarkan jawaban-jawabannya atas
keberatan
masyarakat daripada kita berpolemik
begini beg Begini lebih baik kasihkan
kami izin kami Buktikan kalau
salahudah hakimi Kami selesai kan kita
kan di NKRI negara hukum biar hukum yang
berjalan jika kami melanggar janji-janji
kami atau kami melanggar salah satu
peraturan perundangan
terkait tema besarnya ini adalah
revitalisasi tuka
atauansi revitalisasi tuka ya engak usah
tabu sebut masalah properti ya memang
jujur itu properti tapi coba dong
Berpikir jernih di mana pengusaha
properti lain yang sambil mengusaha tapi
juga berkontribusi nyata memperbaiki
lingkungannya berpikir Tolong Pak Lebih
komprehensif Pak kami ini nanti lokasi
tabar di Teluk nih P semua Sungai
bermuara ke teluk Bapak bayangkan Pak

properti ini pak sampah-sampah itu
terusterus datang ke tempat kami bukan
nanti saya tetap harus
membersihkan kan beda sama pengusahin
Pak pengusah kan tanahnya sudah jadi
udah siap udah rapi tinggal datang
membangun selesai pak kami besok punya
kewajiban loh Pak tanpa diminta pun
besok kalau itu sampah mengalir ke kami
semua mengalir kami kan mengganggu kami
jadi kami selama Kami nanti akan ada di
teluka kami harus terus men AG
telukersebut karena kenapa ya itu tadi
Pak langsung dampaknya ke Kami
sebenarnya orang memperkirakan harga
satu Ar di sana akan R miliar 5 miliar
apakah untuk masyarakat Lal yang ingin
mengembangkan usaha di lokasi itu di
bekas lingkungan mereka ya sekarang
kalau misal harga market bilang segitu
ya secara natural harusnya affordable
dong
Pak kan harusnya dong logik harga pasar
kan bukan kami ini malah Sebenarnya ya
saya belum tahah kajian kami kan masih
panjang saya tidak bisa B bicara panjang
Karena studi kelayakan kami dari segi
aspek ekonomi dan sebagainya belum
komprehensif terlalu dini kalau saya
bicara hal
itu tanah dan lokasi memang salah satu
aset utama dalam industri pariwisata tak
heran bila kawasan Bali Selatan yang
sudah padat hendak dikembangkan melalui
reklamasi namun ada sebuah desa di
Kabupaten Karang Asem yang justru tidak
melepaskan sejengkal pun tanahnya untuk
pariwisata padahal Desa ini sendiri
adalah salah satu tujuan wisata utama
yang didatangi 46.000 turis setiap tahun
inilah Tenganan
[Musik]

sore
