Bali Orders Removal of Half-Built Glass Elevator at Kelingking Beach

Governor I Wayan Koster set a six‑month deadline for dismantling following findings of permitting and environmental violations.

Overview

  • Developer PT Indonesia Kaishi Tourism Property Investment Development must take down the 180‑meter structure within six months or face removal by the province and Klungkung district.
  • After dismantling, the company is required to restore the site to its original condition within an additional three months.
  • Local authorities had halted construction at the end of October over missing permits and suspected breaches of environmental and planning rules.
  • The lift was roughly 70 percent complete and promoted as a safer alternative to the steep descent to Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida, also known as the T‑Rex cliff.
  • Koster framed the action as protecting Bali’s nature, culture and social values, stressing that investment is welcome when conducted responsibly.
