By the end of 2017, the Governor of Jakarta Anies Baswedan reversed the stance of the Jakarta Government on the controversial draft of Regional Regulation (Raperda) on the North Jakarta Coastal Strategic Spatial Plan (RTRKSP) and the Raperda on the Zoning Plan for Coastal Areas and Small Islands of the Province of Jakarta for 2015-2035 (RZWP3K). A year later, Governor Anies decided to stop the project and cancelled the licenses to build 13 islands (out of 17 islands). Several months after that he gave the green light for the construction of 7.6 kilometer-long road access to connect two new islands. The food court area built on the Island D also has been operational since the end of December 2018. Environmental activists are challenging this situation. In addition to the controversy, the Governor must face a lawsuit filed by PT Manggala Krida Yudha.
