Block's Mega Shed Sparks Bunnings On-Site Rumors
21 Feb
Summary
- A large shed structure on the Block 2026 site fuels local speculation.
- Bunnings became The Block's hardware partner in 2025.
- Contestants will have realistic expectations after last season's finale.
Anticipation for the 2026 season of The Block, set in Mount Eliza, Victoria, is reaching a fever pitch with filming weeks away. A prominent shed-like structure on the production site has ignited local speculation, with rumors suggesting it could be an on-site Bunnings Warehouse, a first for the show. This follows Bunnings' official partnership established in 2025, where they replaced long-time sponsor Mitre 10.
Casting for the 2026 season is complete, with production teams focused on ensuring contestant chemistry and potential conflict. The new season, airing later in 2026, is expected to see contestants with more grounded expectations after a disappointing finale in the previous year. The show's coastal location on the Mornington Peninsula spans 1.35 hectares, with six lots designated for the upcoming season.
Production logistics are confirmed, with hosts Scott Cam and judges Shaynna Blaze, Marty Fox, Shelley Craft, and Darren Palmer set for their roles. Host Scott Cam previously shared a glimpse of the Mount Eliza site in October, noting it would be a landmark coastal build. The production company reportedly acquired the 1.35-hectare site for just under $11 million.
