Production

On 28 October 2015, Nine renewed the series for a twelfth season.[2] Since 2013, the Nine Network has aired two seasons of the show each year. In 2016, however, only one season aired, and it did not air until the last quarter of 2016.[3] It will once again be set in Melbourne.[3] On December 27, 2015, Frank Valentic, teased a video saying that there are rumours of The Block going to Greville Street, Prahran.[4]

On 18 February 2016, it was reported that The Block producers bought an old heritage listed soap factory for $5 million at 164 Ingles St, Port Melbourne,[5]

Filming for the season began on 26 May 2016.[6] The Block auctions (or Block-tions) for the apartments were held on Saturday, 12 November 2016.[7]

Contestants

The Block 2016 is the fourth season to have five couples instead of the traditional four couples. Julia & Sasha are the first ever female same-sex couple to compete on any season of The Block.[8][9]

gollark: I think that might be allowed too, actually? But you need to be in some sort of training thing.
gollark: You are not, apparently, legally allowed to do full-time work until you're 18, and must be in education/training of some kind.
gollark: It looks simpler than your diagram, although I suppose that covers all school stuff while I'm only talking about my specific school and there are other options like vocational training of some kind.
gollark: My school has some convoluted thing where for A-level (high school, ish), as well as the regular 3 A-levels, you *also* have to do two of these three options:- EPQ i.e. a big independent-research-y project- a bunch of 3-month nonexamined "carousel" courses about random stuff like sign language and cooking and photography- a "complementary studies" course, which is *either* a nonexamined random thing or something like one AS-level*or* a fourth A-level.
gollark: Hmm, that's quite a lot longer than "high school" here.
