The Block
TV reality series The Block has completed construction and filming at 109 Old Mornington Road, Mount Eliza.
The Block is now screening on Channel Nine, bringing significant economic benefits to our region and showcasing Mount Eliza’s premium beaches and real estate to a national audience.
During September and October there will be an Open for Inspection event and Auction Day. On those days, traffic controllers will manage additional pedestrian movements and increased traffic, and a shuttle bus service will help ease traffic flow.
Frequently asked questions
What benefits will the project bring to Mount Eliza and the wider municipality?
The Block has brought significant economic and promotional benefits to the region, including a major boost for local trades, suppliers and tourism. The production has showcased the suburb's premium lifestyle, coastal charm, and prestige real estate, likely increasing long-term demand and property values in Mount Eliza and the wider Mornington Peninsula municipality.
What is the Shire's role in the project?
The Block is on private land and therefore the Shire's role is limited to providing permits and enforcing regulations. We provide planning approvals, such as planning and building permits, and enforce building regulations and compliance. Construction was managed by the contractors on site.
How can residents report noise or amenity concerns?
Residents can report noise complaints to the Mornington Peninsula Shire by calling 1300 850 600, emailing customerservice@mornpen.vic.gov.au, using the Snap Send Solve app, or visiting a customer service centre in person.
Will drones be used for filming, and if so, how will this be managed?
The Block holds a valid filming permit for public spaces managed by the Shire. The production is required to notify the Shire of filming activities occurring on Shire-managed land. Filming (including drone take-off and landing) on private land, Parks Victoria land, or land managed by a Committee of Management is subject to approval from the relevant landowner or management authority.
How will nearby residents be kept informed?
Nearby residents have been kept informed by letter drops from Nine in Six Builders and Nine. In those letters important information and key contacts have been shared.
How can I get further information?
We will update this page if needed during the course of The Block.
