Straight checklists for clubs, dealers, coaches and riders.

High-level, practical guidance — no formulas, no proprietary methods, no promises terrain can't keep. Use these before you pick up the phone.

Checklist 1

Before you call a track builder

A bit of prep before the first call saves everyone time and gets you a straighter answer.
  • Know roughly how much land you're working with and where the boundaries sit.
  • Have an idea of who's riding — ages, skill levels and the bikes or machines involved.
  • Think about how the track will be used day to day: training, family riding, club racing or a mix.
  • Note any access issues — gates, easements, overhead power, neighbours.
  • Check what approvals or council rules might apply to earthworks in your area.
  • Have photos or a rough sketch of the property, even a phone video walking the block.

Checklist 2

What to send us about your property

The more accurate detail we get up front, the faster and more useful our advice will be.
  • Address or a listing link if you haven't settled yet.
  • Approximate size and shape of the usable area.
  • Any known slope, drainage, wet areas or flood history.
  • Soil type if you know it — clay, sand, loam or a mix.
  • Existing structures, trees or features you want kept.
  • What discipline you're picturing — motocross, enduro, SxS, club or family riding.
  • Timeframe and whether it's a firm project or an early enquiry.

Checklist 3

Club track health check

A quick, honest look at where your club track is at before committee decides on a rebuild or redesign.
  • Walk the whole layout at race pace in your head — where does the gate bunch up or get dangerous?
  • Check drainage after the last decent rain — where did water sit or cut in?
  • Look at line wear — are riders being funnelled into one groove instead of spreading out?
  • Ask junior and novice riders where they feel out of their depth.
  • Review maintenance load — what needs constant work between meetings?
  • Note any sections that get avoided altogether on race day.

Checklist 4

Buying land to ride on: what to look at

Before you sign anything, a few checks can save you from buying a block that fights you every step.
  • Zoning and council rules around earthworks, noise and motorsport use.
  • Overall fall of the land — a block that's too flat or too steep both bring extra cost and constraints.
  • Soil type and drainage behaviour, especially in wet season.
  • Access for machinery — width, gates, bridges and any weight limits.
  • Distance to neighbours and likely noise considerations.
  • Existing vegetation, waterways or protected areas that may limit what you can build.
  • Whether there's room to grow the layout later, not just fit today's plan.

Every property is different — terrain, soil and access all vary, so treat these as decision factors, not guarantees. For a straight read on your specific block, talk to us directly via a Property Assessment or a Build Request.
