Neighbours producers have revealed new sets for the Australian soap which are part of an AU$1 million (£682,931) revamp on the show.
The makeover, which was paid for by production company FremantleMedia Australia, will see the introduction of three full-size backyards for numbers 22, 26 and 32 Ramsay Street.
CEO of Fremantle Ian Hogg told TV Tonight: "Neighbours is all about families and communities. At the centre of that is the Great Australian Dream, our homes, our backyards and our BBQs.
"We've taken the homes of Ramsay Street and we've relocated them a couple of hundred metres down the road. What that does is allow us to [build] sets.
"It's probably the biggest change to Neighbours that I can remember in a very, very long time. It's a big investment and I know for the writers it gives them greater flexibility and ultimately these programmes are about great stories and great casts."
The change, Hogg said, would "see the return on air with the fabulous production values of this show."
The rear gardens will first appear on screen in May this year.
