After the closure of the Myer department store at Strathpine on 3 March 2007, the section of centre where Myer was located was closed off to allow for a redesign. A new mall was unveiled shortly thereafter and at the time of opening featured a Target discount department store, JB Hi-Fi and many other retail stores.
A new two level Myer store opened in 2008 at Westfield North Lakes, ensuring that Myer still has a department store in Moreton Bay.
Strathpine bus station is serviced by Translink bus routes. It is part of Strathpine Centre. The bus station was upgraded in 2023 to upgrade wheelchair accessibility and security.{{Cite web |title=First look - Strathpine bus station upgrade |url=https://www.moretondaily.com.au/news/first-look-strathpine-bus-station-upgrade |access-date=2024-01-28 |website=Moreton Daily |language=en-US}}
