The 2025 Furneaux Futures Forum is back!

Creating space for fresh ideas and opportunities that spark creativity and innovation across social, cultural, economic and environmental realms - all in support of a regenerative future for the Furneaux Islands community.

From story to strategy, the Islander Way sparked a movement - and now, the Furneaux Collective is here to carry it forward. Powered by community and backed by the Tasmanian Government, this next chapter is all about bold ideas, local leadership, and living differently. This isn’t business as usual. This is the future, led from the edge.

The Furneaux Collective is launching a Regenerative Business Development program that reinvests directly into our island's social and economic fabric. We're seeking to nurture island-grown initiatives that strengthen our community from within. 

In 2023, the Furneaux Futures Forum explored the power of regeneration - how we can restore, renew, and rethink our future in ways that support both people and place. This year, we’re taking that idea a step further with a theme that speaks to the generosity within regeneration itself.
