Both can be true as well.. most of the construction is done outside of the building that hosts the house anyways. Inside the studio space, it's merely assembling the pieces, making minor corrections and maybe making some minor corrections.
I saw her segment where this comment was made. Her response just made me believe that she's implying she can't say anything or talk about it.
The control room in the promo makes me believe it was just a set and not the real gallery.
Was this true in the original 10 and 9 days? With the space they had then being a separate compound I would've thought they'd have just trucked materials in and built everything on location. Back in the day the UK house was it's own compound and tabloids used to post aerial shots of the compound covered in tarps in the months leading up so the construction changes for the new house couldn't be leaked. I work in film production and if 10 is indeed using an existing building space (or a loosely defined "soundstage"), they should be constructing the house in real-time inside if they're following any sort of traditional set construction with blue prints. Studio lots typically have mills where the wood paneling and such is measured and cut, but everything else happens on the soundstage. Dreamworld, not being a studio lot, there's a chance walls, mirrors, etc are being pre-fabricated off site, but construction itself is done on the spot.
I had expected another tease on construction updates by now. Or a Coomera local posting an update. I have a feeling the dirt lot is being utilised. It's too close to the event centre and has enough empty and valuable space to not be used in some form.

Soundstage is what I meant when I said studio space, e.g. they are not trimming wood panels at the exact spot where the house will be but rather prepare the walls somewhere else and then put it together in the studio.
I didn’t mean to suggest that they carry all the walls hundreds of kilometres through the country.
Any validity on this?
The flats (fake walls) in the video going up almost certainly confirms the house is in the exhibition centre... complete with the sound of park attendees screaming in the background. Still can't rule out it's the stage, but I don't see why they'd use flats for that. Surprised this guy was able to get into a spot to even see that.
Edit: also looks like a piece of mirror by the curtain on camera right.

I'm just here hoping that they don't make it look "modern". I want something groovy like back in the day!

Next you’re gonna tell me Hannah Montana was actually Miley Cyrus all along
You’re the best at this.
EDIT: Would they really get rid of those trailers though? I imagine they could be used as production offices.

I imagine they may just relocate the demountable buildings to another area of the park temporarily. Maybe the vacant lot next to WWW may get a use after all

Yeah the 10 houses had a very specific look to them. I didn’t really like the 9 houses apart from 2013, I found 2012 and 2014 to be really tacky. I didn’t mind the 7 houses but I wish it was more open plan rather than having a massive corridor.

It's going to be a production nightmare trying to make this show so close to the noise of 1) roller coaster. 2) a public car park. 3) general theme park and water park noise.
Also takes away from the isolation the house mates are meant to experience.
The original house was out in the middle of no where. I don't think they've thought this through.

Yes, a multimillion dollar company who has decades of knowledge and experience in producing this show, and television in general, locally and around the globe totally didn’t think things through. You’re so right.
They’re probably doing it the cheapest possible way, at least to start. When I say cheap, I don’t mean they’re not investing significant amounts into the show, but this existing structure route will be cheaper than building a new compound and running services and utilities to it. Assuming they do longer runs after this, a new build compound might be in the cards, but I feel they’ve taken a page from the UK.
I’m curious where the production facilities are going and where the actual eviction set is going. There doesn’t seem to be an ideal spot for the evictions. The event centre made the most sense to me.
Crowd noise will be an issue during the day and during evictions. It’s inevitable due to the location. When the park is closed at night it will probably be a non issue.

I never under estimate the Australian TV industry's ability to turn good formats from overseas into absolute garbage. Amazing Race currently airing is a perfect example.

The real test is whether they actually learn from their mistakes and improve on them or whether they double down on them moving forward. 7’s biggest mistake was thinking they could pre-record and ITV’s has been capping the show at six weeks. Neither have really made any attempt to address them… and before anyone says anything ITV adding an extra week for 2025 is as much of a joke as 7’s tinkering with their core format.

You say this yet BB is having one of its best roll-outs in the Australian market. Their social media team are hitting several high notes with this campaign, and the reception has been glowing.
Have a bit of optimism

Also a huge plus that we haven’t really heard much from 10 themselves which is giving the impression that the show is in the hands of production and not just production fulfilling a mandate set for them by the network.
