Strathpine, Queensland

Strathpine is a suburb in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. It is home to the Pine Rivers District offices of the City of Moreton Bay, as well as many businesses, administrative, and local, state and federal government offices. The area is home to Strathpine Centre, a medium-sized urban shopping centre, built by Westfield.

In the 2021 census, Strathpine had a population of 10,647 people.

Gympie Road enters the suburb from the south-east (Bald Hills) and exits to the north (Lawnton). The North Coast railway line runs parallel to and west of Gympie Road. The suburb is served by two railway stations:

Strathpine is situated in the Yugarabul traditional Indigenous Australian country.

The area now known as Strathpine was originally developed in the 1860s as an addition to the North Pine settlement (now known as Petrie) during the Gympie gold rush. In the late 19th century, the area was known for sugar and rum production, with several sugar mills and distilleries in the area. The area was first named Strathpine by the Queensland Government Railways in the 1880s where Strathpine is a Scottish place name, where strath means valley and pine refers to the Pine River.

From 1889 to 2008, Strathpine was the administrative centre of the Pine Rivers Shire Council (formerly known as the Pine Division and the Shire of Pine). Although Pine Rivers Shire was amalgamated in 2008 into the Moreton Bay Region (known since 2023 as the City of Moreton Bay), council offices are still located in the suburb.

Shortcut Provisional School opened circa 1894 and closed circa 1915.
