The Block is chilling out in Daylesford this year.
The hit renovation show started filming its new season in the Hepburn Shire township on Thursday and the production is quickly immersing itself into the local community.
A series of floats built by this year’s Block contestants will take part in the annual ChillOut festival parade on Sunday.
ChillOut is Australia’s largest and longest running queer country pride festival.
Channel 9 spent almost $10m to secure the former farmland on the fringe of the Victorian tourist township for the location of the 2025 edition of The Block.
The land, which has been subdivided into five lots, transferred officially into the ownership of the Nine owned company Micjoy Pty Ltd at the beginning of December for $9,445,801 according to publicly available documents.
The figure is in the ballpark of what Nine has spent in previous years to secure appropriate locations for the show.
Each of the five lots will have a grand new, architecturally designed, pavilion-style home constructed on it.
