The station was closed to all goods traffic on 19 December 1959.[1] It was rebuilt in 1985, and included new station buildings and passenger facilities, as well as an update to the bus terminal facilities.[2][3] It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 2 July 1996.[4]

As part of a grade separation project to remove the nearby Boronia Road level crossing, a new below ground station was built. The rebuilt station opened on 5 November 1998.[1]

After extensive community activism, the Andrews government announced a $60 million upgrade of the station if reelected at the 2022 State Election.[5] Boronia station will be decked over to create new open space, as well as better connections to the surrounding shopping strips. The decking will also create direct pedestrian access from car parking to the Dorset Road shops, making it easier to get around central Boronia. The station facilities will undergo a major overhaul with building upgrades, improved lighting, CCTV, platform upgrades, accessibility upgrades, and new furniture to create a modern station. The bus interchange will also receive new shelters, seating, and signage.[6][7]
