First it was a reality TV show about Byron’s
Instagram influencers, now locals are facing the prospect of renovation show The Block arriving in town
The renovation reality television series The Block has set its sights on Byron Bay for the 2022 season, with local real estate agents confirming they are in verbal negotiations with owners of a number of properties in a region now classified as Australia’s most expensive property market.
But many locals, still angry about the arrival of the
Netflix Australia/Eureka Productions film crew to shoot another reality TV show, Byron Baes, say Channel Nine’s plans for The Block are unethical, in poor taste and possibly, for some long-term residents, the final straw.
