Going to dreamworld over the weekend so I will have to bring my binoculars on the giant drop to spill you all some tea!

    Work is well underway on the new Big Brother house ahead of the upcoming season of the Channel Nine reality show, and Daily Mail Australia can reveal the first look at the residence.

    Located on Queensland’s Gold Coast just outside of the Dreamworld theme park, the dwelling which is inhabited by the Big Brother housemates every year, has undergone an extensive renovation, which looks to include an elevated living space and a second, possibly secret pool.

    In the expansive backyard a new pool has been constructed, a significantly bigger swimming hole than last year’s housemates enjoyed.

    Secret pool? Separate to the main pool in the expansive backyard is a smaller, secondary swimming spot tucked away from plain sight inside a walled area

    Added to that is a second, smaller pool tucked away in a walled area.


    More...Another new addition is what looks like a treehouse perched up on top of the garden wall, looking out over the backyard.

    In April, a Channel Nine publicist told Daily Mail Australia the Big Brother abode wouldn't just be building out but ‘building up’, and indeed it looks like the housemates will be treated to an upstairs living area.

    Going up: As part of the renovations on the existing Big Brother residence, it appears a second level has been added to the home, giving this year's housemates more space than any season before them

    Hideaway: Another new addition looks to include a treehouse. A small cubby-like space is perched above the garden wall, with a perfect view across the backyard

    Fast work: The residence the season 11 contestants will call home is being completely transformed, with builders working around the clock to complete it in time

    A new elevated space is visible from the outside, indicating the contestants will have more room than any other season before them.

    Construction debris is littered around the property as builders continue working away to get the house ready for Big Brother’s 11th season, which will air in the coming months.

    Viewers of Big Brother 2013 will recognise the area with palm trees and blue-coloured floor as the old showdown arena, meanwhile the green area was the Garden of Eden.

    The peach painted area once contained the gym, loungeroom and bedrooms.

    All new: The expansive garden has been grown even further to accomodate whatever plans Big Brother has in store for the housemates this year

    Open plan: A variety of different living areas will allow plenty of room for drama to unfold among the brand new housemates

    Anticipation is building for the new season after Channel Nine aired a cryptic and suspense-filled first promo on Thursday with host Sonia Kruger.

    Following the theme of Noah's Ark, Sonia appears to be playing a God-like character.

    The scene opens with the blonde orchestrating a cyclone-like storm as she encourages housemates onto a giant wooden boat.

    Wearing a billowing Grecian dress with a cinched in black leather girdle, Sonia oversees the entry as what appear to be couples clamber onto the Ark.

    It's huge! This year's contestants will no doubt be eager to make the most of the large swimming pool

    Tucked away: The Big Brother house (bottom left) is situated just outside the Dreamworld theme park on the Gold Coast in Queensland

    The would-be housemates in the promo are seen going into the wooden structure two-by-two, as the famous Big Brother voice bellows from the clouds: 'This is Big Brother, a new breed of housemates has been chosen.'

    Sonia, giant staff in hand, then bangs her cloud from where she is watching on high and says: 'A storm is brewing... on the inside'.

    Sonia has hosted the show since 2012 and will continue her duties this year.

WTF are they on about with the "bigger" pool? It's the same as the 2012/2013 pool apart from the middle section that was the pit (2012) and island (2013).
 
With that new garden area is it possible the hm's will be self sufficient for portions of their fresh vegetables & fruit?
 
You guys I'm getting excited.

@camerashy1 Yep! They must be physic, cos we haven't seen any of this in previous flyovers so I have no idea how they saw it from the giant drop-I mean it's high but not up-in-the-heavens-all-of-time-is-before-me high.
 
OK after seeing those pictures my expectations are rising. In the 4th picture there is a large green cube, I'm guessing that it's the spa still in it packaging. Also in the 4th picture in the corner of the yard is what I'm assuming is a type of tress house ala BBUK.

Anyway this looks to be a major change from last year and we only have 23 days to go!
 
I'm getting a very Ancient Roman/Greece with an almost apocalyptic vibe about the house theme. :thumbsup:
 
I would have to say it was a drone, probably much cheaper than a hellie and a lot more stealth.

So the old showdown area seems to be currently used as a storage area for all the plant/trees. Do we think that a type of showdown will be back this year?

Actually where are they going to put all these plants that are in the showdown area, the back yard looks really small.
