The Daily Telegraph reports
It has found itself in the centre of a TV scandal but the attention is only set to get more intense for Sutherland Shire, with no fewer than three major TV projects to be based out of the beachside hamlet in 2012.
With cameras set to roll on the controversial weeknight series The Shire next Wednesday, the area will also serve as the backdrop for the fly-on-the-wall Lara Bingle vehicle Being Lara Bingle and the coming TV version of the iconic Aussie book-turned-film Puberty Blues.
It's understood Being Lara Bingle has already begun filming, with the show to air on Channel 10 mid-year.
Puberty Blues remains in the casting stage and is expected to hit screens in the later half of the year.
The Shire, meanwhile, is believed to be a "long-term project" for Channel 10 and its production partner Shine Australia, which had pitched the series to Sutherland Shire councillors as a "six or seven" year undertaking intended to be sold internationally.
"We've been told it will be a weeknight show, airing at 7pm, and will air overseas," one said.
