Electoral district of Pine Rivers

Pine Rivers is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland.

[1] It was first created for the 1972 state election, based in the Shire of Pine Rivers in the northern outskirts of Brisbane.

The final member for Pine Rivers, Margaret Woodgate, transferred to Kurwongbah.

The name change from Kurwongbah was made necessary due to the redistribution excising the eponymous suburb from the district.

Originally proposed to be called Samsonvale by the Electoral Commission of Queensland, the name Pine Rivers was adopted after further review.
