The Block producers have long believed the fictional Ramsay Street from Neighbours would make the perfect setting for the renovation series.
And that dream is finally about to be realised, with the latest season of the Channel Nine hit set to take place in the Hampton cul-de-sac of Bronte Court, which bears a striking resemblance to the setting of the popular Australian soap.
'We really think it’s the perfect setting for our show,' The Block's executive producer Julian Cress told TV Tonight on Tuesday.

'It just felt like the perfect location for a series of The Block would be Ramsay Street,' added Mr Cress.
But it took ten years to find an appropriate street with five owners willing to sell.
The producers enlisted the help of resident and buyer's advocate Nicole Jacobs to convince four of her neighbours to join her in selling to the show.
