Where is The Block 2026 filmed?
The Block has officially started filming for its 2026 season, and this year it’s in a new location: the seaside suburb of Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula, about 48 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD.
Mount Eliza is a family-oriented coastal suburb with a population of around 19,000 people. For the 2026 season, contestants will be renovating homes located on the same street at 109 Old Mornington Road, a spot that overlooks the bay with Melbourne’s skyline visible in the distance.
