Pine Rivers Shire
Placeholder page. More detailed content in preparation.
Originally part of the Caboolture Division — one of the seventy-four divisions created under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 — the 771 square kilometre Pine Division became a separate local government area in 1888 and existed until 2008, when it amalgamated with the City of Redcliffe and Caboolture Shire to form the Moreton Bay Region.
Under the Local Authorities Act 1902, Pine Division became the Shire of Pine, which underwent significant changes in 1921 and 1955, and was renamed the Shire of Pine Rivers in May 1959.
The Shire took its name from three rivers contained within it: the Pine River, which empties into Bramble Bay, and its tributaries, the North Pine River and South Pine River.
