Pelaga Village — Badung officials said on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, that they were checking Pelaga Eco Park’s permits after a landslide struck the accommodation two days earlier.

Why it matters: Visitors and operators may face licensing and safety implications as Badung examines the accommodation’s permits, zoning compliance and environmental conditions after the landslide.

Made Surya Dharma, head of Badung’s Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services Agency, said an initial check found that the operator could show a Business Identification Number (NIB), but had not yet produced other supporting documents. The NIB was issued in 2018 through an earlier version of Indonesia’s Online Single Submission licensing system and had not been migrated to the newer risk-based system, according to Bali Post.

The agency said the NIB alone did not establish that all operating requirements had been met. Depending on the business activity and risk level, the operator may also need spatial-use conformity approval, environmental approval, and building approvals or a certificate of functional fitness.

Badung officials said the site lies in an area designated for agriculture and plantations. Agrotourism may be allowed there, but permanent or semi-permanent construction must comply with zoning rules, including restrictions on building type and permitted floor area.

Detik Bali reported that the agency plans to summon the operator to examine the complete licensing documents and determine what further action is required. The report said the operator had not been able to show documents covering building approval, functional fitness, spatial-use conformity and environmental approval during the initial review.

The permit review followed a landslide at the site on 1 November 2026. Two guests, one Indonesian citizen and one foreign national, were reported missing after heavy rain caused parts of the accommodation to be swept away. Badung officials also said the site’s safety, environmental conditions and preparedness for extreme weather would be evaluated.
