In 2005, when the Wivenhoe Alliance completed its upgrade of nearby Wivenhoe Dam, South East Queensland’s primary water supply and flood mitigation dam, the upgrade was completed six months ahead of schedule and 10% below budget.
Wivenhoe Alliance approached the then Esk Shire Council to see if the money could be used in a project that would benefit the community of Fernvale.
The Fernvale Futures Partnership was formed.
The Fernvale Memorial Park was upgraded and the Fernvale Futures Complex (27.4555°S 152.6523°E) was built on the site of old Fernvale railway station (27.4555°S 152.6522°E)  and was designed to have a similar shape; it was opened in September 2006.

The Fernvale Futures Complex incorporates an accredited tourist information centre manned by a team of volunteers and has facilities for meetings and conferences, with smaller rooms for visiting specialists and counselling.
The complex also serves the community in such diverse ways as providing public access to computers and printing services, meeting rooms for social groups, training courses, workshops and exhibitions.
In 2011, Fernvale Futures Complex was converted into a temporary shelter and Flood Relief Centre for families affected by the Brisbane River flood.
