There’s nothing like being confined to your home for extended periods of time to bring on the renovation itch. I know it has for me. Though, for some, renovating was in their blood long before COVID-19 struck.

Take Shelley Craft, for example, who talks to Effie Mann in this week’s cover story about her latest reno project – her 10th in 14 years – this time in Byron Bay. And while she tells Effie that TV is her first love, it is pretty clear that property runs a close second. The Block co-host is as excited as the rest of us about the show’s latest season – “Faves v Fans” – starting on August 8 on Nine and 9Now . ●

EFFIE MANN ●

Ph o t o

DAV E C O O K E

Shelley Craft is back in the new season of The Block, having recently renovated her 10th home, this time in Byron Bay.

S

helley Craft may have spent the past 12 years living in Byron Bay – with her cameraman-real estate agent husband Christian Sergiacomi and the couple’s two daughters, Milla, 10, and Eadie, 9 – but don’t go making assumptions.

“I’m not your typical Byron yogalates, lighthousewalking, green juice-drinking person,” she says jokingly, with mock affront. “I would say I’m a typical mum, most of the time.”

There are some Byron cliches that do stick, however. The Australian television star does spend every morning at the beach, walking the family dog while Sergiacomi and Milla ride the waves, and, when she has the time, partakes in the odd surf lesson herself.

Generally speaking, though, Craft doesn’t do downtime. In fact, productivity is her meditation, she says with a laugh.

“I’ve learnt in my 45 years on the planet that I love working, and that is my downtime; it is my hobby,” she says. “I would actually rather be working than what they call ‘doing something for myself’.”

On top of her television work, Craft holds various brand ambassadorships and is called on to emcee functions and awards ceremonies.

When she’s not doing the school run, driving Milla and Eadie to dance lessons or yelling advice from the sidelines of the girls’ soccer games (“Having never played a day in my life,” she concedes), Craft is also championing competitors in another arena.

On Channel Nine’s long-running renovating show The Block, Craft is the ever-smiling and encouraging “Aunty Shell”, as she dubs herself with an accentuated Aussie twang, providing advice and support to the teams trying desperately to deliver a completed makeover for judging each week.

Ramping up for its 17th season, the latest series is a “Fans v Faves” construct, and Craft is excited to be back working with former contestants, who bring both their expertise and familiarity to the set.

“Once you’ve been on the show, you are an integral part of The Block family forevermore, whether you like it or not!” Craft says.

This year, the show has purchased the better part of a “classic Aussie” cul-de-sac in the Melbourne suburb of Hampton.

“When they told me we were doing a cul-de-sac in

Melbourne, I thought we’d bought Ramsay Street,” Craft laughs. “Turns out, no, not quite, but hopefully most people watching have had the neighbourly experience of living in one.”

Unlike past seasons, contestants have been given free rein on floor-plan design.

“Not only are they renovators this time, they’re architects as well,” Craft explains. “Even if they didn’t listen to me, I guarantee I told them a thousand times what I thought they should be doing.”

Craft is well placed to dole out advice. On top of being a Block veteran, she and her husband have bought and renovated, to varying degrees, 10 houses in the past 14 years, including a whirlwind gutting and rebuilding of a holiday cottage in Byron, which they completed in a similar time frame to a Block season.

“I thought, ‘I’ve got to put my money where my mouth is!’”

The couple’s latest project is what Craft calls their “forever-for-now home” on the site of an old whaling station at Belongil Beach, not far from the stretch of sand where she married Sergiacomi in 2009.

It was completed in December last year, and Craft says she had a clear vision from the outset, wanting to marry the property’s industrial roots and beach location.

“It was a real project of love,” she says. “We sat on the plans for a couple of years. We tinkered with it back and forward, until we came up with [an] overall design that we loved.”

The end result is impressive, featuring huge blocks of sandstone underfoot, exposed brick, weathered recycled timbers and soaring, raked ceilings.

Craft says both she and Sergiacomi grew up in families who bought, sold, renovated and developed property, so the many projects they have tackled together have never felt daunting. In fact, Craft says, it’s a passion the couple share.

That passion developed early for Craft, who bought her first house off the plan at the age of 22, after working in television for four years.

Visiting the building site daily, and single-handedly choosing the house’s fittings and fixtures, gave her a buzz – one that’s propelled her ever since.

Sergiacomi, too, brings his own expertise as head of Byron’s Pacifico Property real estate agency,

which he co-owns with Brad Cranfield, another ex“Blockhead” and branch of the ever-growing Block family tree.

Not to be outdone, Craft studied for her real estate agent’s licence last year.

“I’m a television host by trade but it seems that’s not really enough anymore … I was starting to realise that throughout television you’re either a chef who’s now a television host or an Olympian who’s now a television host or a sporting star who’s now a television host, and I was just a TV host.

“I feel like I have a lot of real estate knowledge but now I’m putting it into practice as well, and it’s great to have a bit more of that learning to bring to the show.”

Despite all this, Craft says she hopes she doesn’t have to rely on the property market for income any time soon. “It’s much easier to stand up in front of 10,000 or a million people and talk than it is to sell a house,” she says.

P

lus, TV is her first love. “I’ve done kids’ shows, cartoon shows, game shows, travel shows, entertainment shows, live shows.

I’ve worked pretty much every genre of TV there is and loved every single one of them.

“TV is very much my home, I’ve been doing it since I was 18, so I don’t really know anything else other than this, and it’s served me pretty well so far.”

The lifestyle this work affords her is a true gift, Craft adds. While The Block’s intensive filming schedule steals three months a year, with many nights away, when she is home, Craft can be fully present to the needs of her daughters and the joys of life in Byron Bay. “It was a lifestyle decision coming here. We [are] really well established in Byron now, as members of the community and the school, and businesses here.

“The people moving to town, I believe, are coming for the same reasons we did – to find that better life balance, to enjoy their ‘down time’ more, to have more time with their kids.”

Speaking of which, Shelley Craft has to wind up our call – it’s school holidays and the girls are keen for a trip to the beach.

“I know how lucky I am,” she says, signing off.

THE BLOCK \ “Fans v Faves” airs on August 8 at 7pm on Nine and 9Now.

STREETS OF OUR TOWN

Glenferrie Road The Malvern section of this beloved street has everything a suburban strip should.

Notable Victorians such as former prime ministers Harold Holt and Sir Robert Menzies hailed from Malvern, and it’s where the iconic Malvern Star bicycle was born.

On Glenferrie Road, the rich history of the suburb remains on display, in the old two-storey buildings that house shop fronts at street level and offices and residences above.

Between High Street and Dandenong Road, the strip is dotted with restaurants and bakeries, homeware stores, bookshops and clothing retailers.

And less than 50 metres away, there’s even a shopping centre, Malvern Central, similarly packed full of great retail and food.

Rounding it off is an abundance of convenient parking.

Marketing co-ordinator for the Glenferrie Road Malvern Business Association, Alex Hume, says one of the reasons the strip is so popular is because “the majority of the businesses are owner-operated; they are not chain-stores.”

The precinct “is renowned for high-quality products and exceptional customer service to the local community,” he says.

OUR TOP TIP Grab a cup of coffee and a baked treat on Glenferrie Road before heading up to Malvern Cricket Oval for a stroll, and bring your pooch because it’s dog-friendly.

WHAT WILL YOU FIND THERE?

Walking down from the grand Malvern Town Hall on High Street, I pass restaurants serving a diverse set of cuisines, including Italian, Japanese, Lebanese, Greek, Spanish and Indian. I peer into Remy Bar de Tapas y Vino, and can see why it's considered one of the best eateries on the strip: its menu is extensive, and its interior is warm, with a strong European feel.

Eating here could feel like you've been transported to a tapas bar in Spain.

A little further down the road, I find myself inside Readings bookstore. It's been on Glenferrie Road for 20 years. Manager Bernard Vella says one of the store’s “biggest strengths” is it’s extensive children’s section, which caters to the many young families who live in the area.

I poke around a few of the area's most-loved homewares

stores, including Wen & Ware Living, Urban Home Republic and Crate Expectations. Their products are modern and different enough to suit a range of styling tastes – and perfect for picking up a gift. A standout clothing store is Odeya, boasting an exquisite range of local and international garments.

I am drawn into Fleischer Cakes and have a chat with head pastry chef Pino Marmina, who says he tries to keep the offering “as authentic as we can. Everything's handmade... and we start from scratch in the morning,” he says. I try the plum streusel, and it melts in my mouth – it's incredible. ●

This elegant home was built about 1860. Victoria dominated the world’s gold output, Melbourne’s population was about 125,000, and 26 camels, sourced from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, had arrived to carry loads for the Burke and Wills expedition.

The house has moved on and been renovated, adapted and equipped for the 21st century by Angela Castran, visual merchandiser at Fenton & Fenton. The eras have been blended sensitively and the home offers a sophisticated urban lifestyle.

The facade is Victorian elegance at its best, beginning with the iron fence. The lace trim on the verandah, the pediment and the decorative stonework are all in excellent condition.

A deep bay window opens to the tessellated tile verandah.

Inside, the formal sitting room, and the living room both open off the arched hallway and have marble fireplaces, deep cornices and deep skirting boards.

The kitchen and meals at the rear of the building also has a fireplace. The kitchen has stone benchtops, a pantry, generous cupboard and bench space and bifold doors to the deck and the paved courtyard garden flanked by mature shrubs and trees.

On the first floor, the main and second bedrooms have marble open fireplaces and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom, with terrazzo floor and marble vanity is next followed by a third bedroom, also with a built-in wardrobe, and study.

The house has been rewired and re-plumbed. There is a powder room on the ground floor along with a Euro laundry,

This reminder of a gentler era in tree-lined Dundas Place is within walking distance of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre. Bridport Street and Victoria Avenue are close by with their shopping, cafes and restaurants.

Vinyl Weatherboards give your home a facelift with added perks…

Maintenance Free Weatherboards EST 1981

FREE UPGRADE

SUPERTUFF WEATHERBOARDS + 25mm FOAM INSULATION HURRY OFFER LIMITED WHILE STOCKS LAST!

Vinyl weatherboards can add to the energy efficiency of a home. Using insulated foam backed vinyl cladding, the home benefits from increased insulation – making it cooler in the summer and warmer in winter. The result is a more comfortable home and lower power bills. The other advantage of insulated vinyl cladding is being able to add a layer of insulation to the entire home without any demolition or reconstruction – It is installed right over the top of the existing façade. Noise reduction is also a side benefit with the great new look.

WON’T ROT, CHIP OR PEEL

Since vinyl cladding can be installed over existing facades, it is a simple renovation option and because installation is relatively easy, labour costs are minimised. We are experienced handling the installation using the correct installation techniques to ensure you get the best possible exterior to your home. Formplex has a 40-year history of transforming homes.

Vinyl weatherboards won’t chip, peel, dent, or rot, so you can forget costly repairs. Just rinse occasionally with a garden hose.

The colour of vinyl weatherboard external cladding influences its capacity to absorb or reflect heat. In Australian climates, it is preferable to use lighter colours. We offer a palette that is aesthetically pleasing and holds the uv stability throughout its life expectancy – Formplex offers nine colours for your own colour scheme. White, Ivory, Vanilla, Linen, Rivergum, Glade green, Heritage Gold, Pale Green and Grey. The Hamptons Grey has been on trend for a while, but Linen and Crisp white are emerging as key neutrals that work well with timber and stone and enrich the colours in your garden.
