The Block 2025: Daylesford Drama Unveiled in Shocking First Look!

BBG News

As I eagerly count down the days, my heart races with excitement! I’m practically bursting at the seams as the ground beneath the 2025 site for The Block begins to transform before my very eyes! It’s a dream come true, each brick laid is a promise of the thrilling journey that lies ahead. Can’t wait to see what magic unfolds in season 21!

Photographs shared by Daily Mail Australia offer a sneak peek into the upcoming season, which unfolds in the countryside town of Daylesford, Victoria. It appears that this season might be its grandest one so far!

Although spectators might believe they’ve witnessed every surprise on the action-packed reality TV series, the 2025 season promises an unprecedented twist that viewers haven’t seen before.

In this upcoming storyline, contestants must construct lavish homes entirely from the ground up on an unfamiliar piece of land. This fresh twist is bound to add additional pressure and strain to the already tight deadlines and demanding construction processes.

As per the plans presented to Hepburn Shire Council, participants must construct the basic structure (shell) of a five-bedroom house design, which includes a study room, a living space, and a garage.

In addition, the facilities will feature luxurious extras such as a sheltered outdoor space and a warm, inviting pool.

The documents provided by Group Architects imply that the five residences proposed are almost identical, environmentally friendly construction projects.

This season’s contestants seem to face a challenging task ahead, as their renovation blueprints gradually become tangible structures.

The images suggest that workers are continuously on site, possibly even through the night, with the aim of completing the construction before the projected commencement of production in March.

The metal home structures seem nearly finished, as three out of five construction sites are progressing quite well.

The structural layout and design of the construction give a hint at the size of the homes, conceptualized by Group Architects, to be showcased throughout the extended renovation series.

The buildings seem to have a three-layered structure, with distinct living spaces connected through a common area at the center.

It seems the ongoing construction project has caused some inconvenience for the local residents, as seen in certain photos where a lane adjacent to the site is blocked off by traffic cones shaped like orange traffic hats.

Overhead views show that The Block site rests peacefully amidst a serene countryside, surrounded by verdant woods and undulating landscapes.

Back in December, I was absolutely thrilled to learn from News Corp that my beloved Nine Entertainment splurged a whopping $10 million on a parcel of land! The property, now divided into five distinct plots, has me buzzing with excitement over what’s in store for the future.

According to the report, the business owned by Nine, Micjoy Pty Ltd, acquired a piece of land at a cost of approximately $9,445,801.00.

In 2017’s Block season, the cost of acquiring the infamous Gatwick Hotel in Melbourne was similar to past Block purchases, with Micjoy investing approximately $10 million.

The business shelled out a total of 14.3 million dollars for acquiring five properties situated in Hampton East, Melbourne, as part of their 2022 ventures.

Initially, Daylesford had been chosen as the location for The Block in 2024, but due to disagreements over planning and opposition from the local community, the filming ultimately shifted to Phillip Island instead.

Although the proposed location’s plan had been given approval by the Hepburn Shire earlier, it faced a challenge at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) in September.

It seems that the network had to terminate reservations for approximately $500,000 of lodging they had previously arranged for the show’s performers and technical team.

A source from the production shared that we’ve achieved great success with numerous series set in various places, yet we avoid going to places where we’re not welcomed, as reported to The Herald Sun earlier.

‘Especially for the 20th series of The Block, which is so important.’

Nestled amidst verdant countryside, located approximately 111 kilometers from Melbourne, this small town has emerged as a favorite weekend retreat for city dwellers, affectionately known as “the big smoke”.

However, the local community leaders, representing a population of 10,000 individuals, have earlier expressed apprehensions about how the popular TV series might affect the town’s reputation.

Steve Rowe, the CEO of Daylesford Local Tourism Board, firmly believes that the show’s arrival will generate additional exposure for the region, potentially attracting even more visitors. This influx could positively impact Daylesford’s economy by stimulating local businesses.

But he has also expressed his concern about Daylesford’s image.

‘Once filming wraps up, my interest will drop off,’ he told the Herald Sun in December.

However, during its production phase, it’s guaranteed to attract visitors to town; all we have to ensure is that it presents Daylesford in an authentic and appealing manner.

A source close to the production has hinted to Daily Mail Australia that the start of the 2025 season might be postponed.

The delay, it seems, is due to our informant disclosing that the producers aren’t very fond of the pool of applicants for the 21st season of the show.

This week, it’s been reported that the casting producers have been holding critical discussions with Nine’s executives due to their dissatisfaction with the proposed schedule for 2025.

According to the source, extreme steps are being taken to ensure the upcoming season of the show is perfected.

In 2025, the houses built for the Daylesford season will become integral components of a novel carbon-free community known as Middleton Field, which is being created by Hygge Property.
