Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has released an update on the progress of her Clovelly ‘dream home’ in Sydney’s sought after eastern suburbs.
The radio Queen, 50, has taken on the ambitious project that will see a complete transformation of an oceanfront house she purchased at open auction in March 2023.
And now, two years after the KIIS FM star dropped $13.25 million on the pad, heavy equipment has taken over site to begin work on the mansions foundations.
Taking to her stories on Thursday Jackie shared a video showing workers on the property which has been stripped of its original six-bedroom three storey home.
The video showed a large earth mover and the site which has been cleared of demolition debris and appears ready for enabling works.
Jackie also appears to be taking a ‘hands on’ approach to the build as she also posted a picture of herself posing with five members of her construction team.

‘Site meeting,’ Jackie said in the caption.
The Kyle and Jackie O Show star has been posting regularly on her Instagram to keep followers update on the progress.
Back in December Jackie shared video and images of the demolishing works on the original property.
Photos showed a sloped frontage, leading to several staggered levels with the whole area now cordoned off with temporary fencing.
The scene was a far cry from the 1960s-era home that once stood on the site.
An aerial photo of the site revealed just how close Jackie will be to the stunning coastline.
The picture showed the crystals clear water just meters away from what will eventually be Jackie’s front door.
The property is located on a clifftop over looking the ocean in the sought-after beach suburb of Clovelly, which lies 9km from the CBD.

Jackie also shared videos of heavy construction equipment knocking down parts of the sprawling mansion.
In one clip, a large crane could be seen demolishing the walls of the original three storey home.
Another clip featured a time lapse of the decades-old six-bedroom house being torn apart stage-by-stage as the site got ready for construction.
‘And so it begins,’ Jackie captioned the post as she shared her excitement for the build ahead.
Earlier this year, Jackie teased fans with a preview of her amazing design plans for her ‘dream home’, which is costing the star $5.05million, according to Now to Love.
Taking to her Instagram in February, the KIIS FM star showed off her plans to create a chic living space with a stunning multi-million dollar view of the sea.
Another image depicted a beautiful built-in outdoor pool constructed right on the coastline and surrounded by sculptured gardens and palm trees.
Sharing the snapshots of what she wanted her dream home to become, Jackie tagged prestige architects Madeleine Blanchfield who is behind the impressive build.

The photos, from previous Madeleine Blanchfield projects, provided ample inspiration for Jackie.
A spokesperson for Jackie said that the pictures were ‘mock[ups] of options of what her new home will look like’.
Jackie snapped up the property in March 2023 for a massive $13.25million at an open auction.
The house is set back from the road, offering Jackie the privacy she hasn’t had on the narrow streets of her former address.
The high-profile media star had previously complained about intrusive paparazzi as the reason for her sale of her past home.
Jackie bought her new home after pocketing a tidy $2million in profit on the sale of her old home in Woollahra, after paying $11million for it in 2020.
