Filming on Channel Nine’s The Block has been well underway in regional Victoria since last month.

And new aerial photos have revealed that the 2025 season will feature some massive homes.

The sprawling construction site located in the tiny rural getaway of Daylesford, 112km from Melbourne, features five blocks.

All of the two-storey dwellings are built as a ‘H’ design layout with courtyard spaces in front and back of the home.

A photo from the site shows that one team of Blockheads are well ahead of their rivals.

The contestants appear to have already completed most of the roofing which features several skylights.

Scaffolding has also been applied to the exterior.

Two other homes appear to be advanced in their construction, with the remaining two sites yet to begin work on their roofing.

Another photo shows that The Block site is situated on a tree-lined main road with only a handful of homes nearby.

It comes after production of the Nine hit allegedly hit a serious snag.

An industry insider exclusively told Daily Mail Australia that cameras were set to roll in Daylesford in January.

It is understood that filming began last month.

The reason for the hold up? Our source revealed that producers are less-than-enamoured with the crop of contestants who applied for the show’s 21st season.

They claimed casting producers have been in crisis meetings with Nine executives because they are so far unhappy with the presented line-up for 2025.

‘There are desperate measures being made to get the show right for the next series,’ the source said.

‘There has been a noticeable absence of what Channel Nine were interested in showcasing later this year.’

The source said Nine was interested in attracting ‘older and wiser’ contestants for 2025, in a bid to move away from on screen drama that has become a fixture on the show in recent seasons.

Much of the 2024 season was dominated by the controversial ‘flirtgate scandal’ involving married couple Brad and Kylie Baker, and their co-star Mimi Belperio.

Daly Mail Australia has contacted Channel Nine for comment.

This season contestants will have to build their luxury homes completely from scratch in a new plotline that is sure to inject even more tension into the already time-pressured and stressful builds.

According to Realestate.com.au, planning documents submitted to Hepburn Shire Council include five new plots that will provide a starting-off point for contestants.

Previously, Blockheads have been tasked with renovating an existing property or, in the case of the 2022 season, renovating homes that were shipped into the Gisborne site.

In a huge challenge, the 2025 contestants will be required to complete the shell of a five-bedroom floor plan, including a study, living area and a garage.

The properties will also include other lavish amenities including a covered outdoor area and a heated swimming pool.

The documents, which were submitted by Group Architects, also suggest that the five homes will be near-identical two-storey eco friendly developments.
