Round The Block is more than just a magazine - it's the voice of Bell Block, created by locals for our BBK community.

With it's first issue delivered to letterboxes on 1 October 2025, the monthly magazine is filled with local news content celebrating everything that makes our Suburb vibrant, diverse and uniquely ours. From community events and local sports to stories of our history, local businesses, and our remarkable people, young and old, who call Bell Block home. The magazine serves to reflect the true spirit of our neighborhood, highlighting the issues that matter most to provide a genuine, trusted look at life on the block.

For all Bell Block residents and businesses that reside at 4312, community notices and events are FREE to list. Please note that there may be limited space, so it is a first served basis before deadline (20th of month prior to print).

Message from the Editor

I had the privilege of working as a Graphic Designer and fill-in Journalist/Photographer for Close 2 Home, Bell Block’s former community newspaper in 2011 until it's final issue in January 2012. Since then, our vibrant suburb has continued to grow rapidly—residentially, commercially, and industrially and has left a gap in our community.

Reviving the community magazine has been a privilege. Others saw my vision and haven't hesitated to support. Round The Block aims to reconnect and strengthen our community through grassroots storytelling. With volunteer contributors and youth advocates reporting on life in Bell Block—bringing local news back to the people!

This is a community project we can all be proud of - a monthly magazine delivered to mailboxes by keen volunteers and kids on bikes.  Round the Block is for the community, by the community, and I’m excited to work alongside you all and bring this to life.
