But during the coronavirus pandemic producers were forced to ‘get creative,’ after being told that they would not be able to shoot scenes in the northern suburb.

Aerial images captured by Daily Mail Australia reveal how an artificial beach in another part of Sydney was built up to mimic Summer Bay’s look.

A sand-filled 10-ton truck has apparently been used to make the scenes look as if they were unfolding on the beach.
One photo reveals how a beachside walkway was built using sand and wooden poles, while greenery is in the surrounding area.

It comes only days after it was announced that COVID-19 travel constraints meant producers needed to find a new place to film their ‘away’ shoot, as they were unable to fly to the Northern Territories.

‘Corona won’t get anything in the way of showing the viewer any wonderful stories,’ series executive Lucy Addario told The Sunday Telegraph last week.

‘It helped us think creatively about the square,’ she said.

Home and Away shot a couple of episodes in 2016 in Alice Springs, but production probably won’t be able to come back there for many months.

Currently, the soap opera shoots its indoor scenes at Seven’s Eveleigh Studios and uses Palm Beach for its resort scenes outside.

Thanks to COVID-19 health concerns the series had been temporarily postponed in March.

Home and Away were initially halted in March due to health issues about COVID-19. The stars both practiced mutual distancing and stringent grooming procedures as shooting resumed May 27. Pictured: Cameron Daddo, Georgie Parker & Ray Meagher

After a nine-week break, the stars all observed social distance and strict hygiene practices when filming resumed on May 27.

COVID safety systems are also in place to ensure cast and crew health including routine temperature controls.

Scripts have also been revised to encourage the actors to separate themselves from one another.
