The Tara Futures Group was established from the Tara Shire Development Association post local government amalgamation in 2008, due to the fact that Tara Shire no longer existed. It is differentiated from the Tara & District Development Association formed at the same time, which is an informal network of representatives from communities across the Tara District.
The Tara Futures Group hosts the biennial Tara Culture and Camel Festival, a major event on the Western Downs calendar, with a subcommittee almost continuously working on this event. Tara Futures Group has evolved to be the pre-eminent organisation in Tara and has interests wider than just business and business investment. The Tara Futures Group AGM is held in June and general meetings are usually held on the 2nd Thursday of each month. Contact the President for details including venue.
