On 8 November 2016,
The Block was renewed for a thirteenth season at Nine's
upfronts. Applications for the thirteenth season of the series opened on January 9, 2017, with energetic couples aged between 18 and 65 years old being sought by casting agents. Filming for the season is scheduled to occur between April 2017 and July 2017. On 17 March 2017, it was officially confirmed that 46 Regent Street Elsternwick will be the location of
The Block's thirteenth season with filming to begin on 27 April 2017, however they will not be building a property from the ground up, as five old rundown weatherboard houses are being relocated to the location, meaning this will be the first time since the
sixth season the contestants will renovate a house.
The Block’s open for inspection took place on Sunday, 15 October 2017. The Block auctions (or Block-tions) for the houses were held on Saturday, 28 October 2017. Elyse & Josh won the series with comedian
Dave Hughes buying their property for over $3m. ==Contestants==
