Darren Stewart

• Director
• Makin Trax Australia Pty Ltd
• In 2005 passionate mountain biker Darren Stewart saw a business opportunity in the emerging and specialised track building market in Australia.
  
  Traditionally, the construction of mountain bike tracks relied on volunteers such as Darren. He established Makin Trax Australia which designs, constructs and maintains mountain bike, walking and multi-use track networks.
  
  The Canberra business has expanded its capabilities in the past year, with a sustainability management team. This provides the foundation for the creation of world class tracks through environmental scoping, planning and site and track auditing.
  
  Makin Trax has produced the acclaimed Stromlo Forest Park track, used to host the UCI World Mountain Bike and Trials Championships in 2009 which brought 750 elite riders and over 40,000 spectators to Canberra. It was also responsible for the Casuarina Walking Trail refurbishment on Mount Majura.
  
  Darren drew on his experience in franchising and as a licensed builder, where producing consistent outcomes was key, to develop a track network and building system backed by a warranty, which is unprecedented in the industry.
