Plans to apparently redevelop the Bali site where 202 people were killed in a bombing is "deeply distressing", Prime Minister Scott Morrison says.
Local Bali authorities have granted a permit for a five-storey restaurant and monument on the site of the Sari Club, where 88 Australians were among those killed in a car bomb attack in 2002, the ABC reported.

The move has upset survivors of the attack, who have been working for years to turn the land into a peace park.
