The thirteenth season of Australian reality television series The Block premiered on 30 July 2017 on the Nine Network. Both hosts Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) returned from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer.

 

A vacant block of land at 46 Regent Street, Elsternwick, had been purchased back in December 2016, with plans approved to build a five lot subdivision. However we haven't built the property from the ground up, as five old rundown weatherboard houses were relocated to the location.This was the first time since the sixth season the contestants had to renovate a house.
