Trail specialists

About us.

Creating community assets.

Why we do what we do

Long before Contour Works was established, Evan and Ryan were passionate young mountain bikers, spending their free time riding, building trails and exploring the natural environment. What began as a hobby became a career in 2009, when they started professional trail building in Victoria’s High Country, helping create one of Australia’s first alpine mountain bike destinations at Mt Buller.

Since then, our experience across trail building, civil construction and landscaping has shaped Contour Works into a specialist contractor delivering high-quality community assets, including mountain bike trails, walking tracks and asphalt pump tracks.

With more than 30 years of combined trail building experience across unique and sensitive environments, we understand what it takes to deliver trails and recreational infrastructure that are safe, sustainable, durable and enjoyable for a diverse range of users.

As passionate riders and environmental enthusiasts, we believe great trails should work with the landscape, not against it. We take a thoughtful approach to design and construction, integrating each project into its natural surroundings while creating memorable experiences that connect people with Australia’s diverse landscapes.
