The headquarters for the Pine Rivers and Sandgate Branch is situated in Tarakan House, 1/3 Ogg Road, Murrumba Downs, 4503, (just 22 kms. north of Brisbane along the Bruce Highway).

The building was officially opened on 17 January 2004 by the former Mayor Yvonne Chapman, (pictured on the right) Pine Rivers Shire Council. (Note: The Pine Rivers Shire Council became part of the Moreton Bay Regional Council on 15/3/2008).
