Client:	Eco Solutions Lombok
Stage:	Completed
Programme:	2011–2013

Tanjung Ringitt is the most easterly part of the Pemongkong peninsula on Lombok, an island of over four million people.

The island is designated to be the next major tourist destination in this part of Asia. Currently, a new international airport for the island is under construction and will bring in up to 1.5 million visitors per year. The area of Tanjung Ringitt lies approximately 90 minutes from the new airport and with its protected harbour area has been recognised to have the potential to be the gateway to the Eastern Indonesian archipelago stretching down to Australia.

JTP, as part of an international multi-disciplinary team, created a sustainable masterplan within an area of approximately 1,000 ha in East Lombok. Plans for the site on the Tanjung Ringitt peninsula are focused around future eco-tourist developments and a creative hub for green businesses. The international team working on the plan included eco-architects, environmental technologists, sustainability consultants, food, health and tourism specialists.

Tanjung Ringitt is a platform that combines environmental, cultural, social, spiritual and financial needs in equal balance, thus creating a win-win for a multitude of different stakeholders.

The aspiration for the scheme is to be both economically and environmentally sustainable for the wider region and to help uplift the area, which currently suffers from considerable poverty.
