Under construction! TV star Rove McManus and wife Tasma Walton continue extensive renovations on their $6.4 million Bronte home amid anger from local residents
TV host Rove McManus, 45, and Tasma Walton are continuing their extensive renovations on their $6.4 million mansion in Bronte.
Photos taken in February at the building site show trucks moving to and from the dwelling, amid extensive renovations - which have angered neighbours.
The fenced property appears to be something of an eyesore, a number of building materials scattered around the busy building site.

With extensive demolition and earthworks underway, neighbours have reportedly described the building works as 'excessive', 'disruptive' and 'inappropriate'.
The proposed renovations could potentially add $4million to the value of the home.
It is understood the couple made multiple attempts to have a planning application approved to build on the sloping block, which was granted last year.

After Waverley Council approved the plans in late 2017, work began earlier this year.
Rove is believed to be upgrading the home with a second storey as well as a two-car basement garage with lift access.
The couple purchased the five-bedroom property, which overlooks Bronte Beach and boasts a home library and temperature-controlled wine cellar, after selling their Avalon abode.
