The main concerns for residents living in the area touted as The Block's next stomping ground are increased traffic and excessive noise levels.
It is believed the Auckland suburb of Meadowbank could host the next season of the reality television series, after a letter on a Warner Bros letterhead sent to residents advised of an "up and coming building and filming activity in the area".
There has been some suggestion the show will be housed on the site of a house being demolished at 71 St Johns Rd - although nothing has been confirmed.
It is expected more information will come to light at a community meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening at St Chad's Church - a couple of blocks down from the soon to be empty section.
Those living in the area around 71 St Johns Rd did not know much about plans for the site, but were concerned about the additional traffic and noise it would bring.
One Meadowbank resident said traffic was already a problem on the busy main road.
"Seen the traffic on this road? I live down there; now in the mornings you can't get out - I've got to go around the block."
He wasn't so keen on seeing The Block join the morning mayhem.
"I've got nothing against the show, but I've seen from previous shows they block off the driveways."
Steve Butler who lived with his fiance in a house not far from the suspected site said if the show came to the street it would bring mixed blessings.
"The good thing about it is, obviously it brings something to the neighbourhood that's quite exciting, the residents might like it.
"The downside is it's already quite hard reversing out of the driveway especially in rush hour, it could cause accidents, might even cause burglaries as more people know about the area."
He thought noise might also be a problem for those living next to the site.
University student Georgina Aston who lived next door to 71 St Johns Rd said it might be a bit of an inconvenience.
"But uh, it's their property they can really do what they want."
Previous seasons of the show sparked complaints from local residents concerned at the noise and traffic problems that came with the building work and filming.
The most recent season wrapped up on Sunday night when Brooke Thompson and her partner Mitch Davies cleaned up at the live auctions after their renovated villa sold for $1.35 million, $190,000 over reserve, giving them $190,000 profit plus $100,000 in prize money.
No resource consent application
Auckland Council has not received a resource consent application regarding The Block.
Manager Central Resource Consents, Mark White, said no such consent had been received for the reality show.
He said council staff had been invited to a meeting where they would explain the role council played in the resource consenting process and the monitoring of construction sites.
"Council staff regularly attend meetings in areas where a development is proposed in order to help neighbours understand the process and what the council's involvement could be."
Acting manager Compliance - Resource Consents, Steve Pearce, said during this year's filming of The Block only two complaints were received.
"One was about the use of a berm for construction purposes, which was unsubstantiated because the applicant had permission for this activity.
"Another was in regards to washout from the site running on to the road, but this matter was dealt with quickly on site and no action was required."
