The original station was built adjacent to Springvale Road, until it was relocated west to its current location in 1964.[2] The old station building was relocated to Epping, which became the terminus of the Epping line in November 1964.[3] The section between Syndal and Glen Waverley was duplicated on 29 November 1964. It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 16 August 1995.[4]

Stabling facilities are located directly opposite to the station. On 23 June 1979, a fire destroyed Tait motor carriage 339M whilst stabled in No. 4 track. The fire also damaged trailer carriage 407T and two stabled Hitachi sets.[5]

In 2012, construction of the "Ikon" apartment complex began on the station site, as part of VicTrack's station precinct enhancement program.[6] The $70 million development was completed in 2013, with the proceeds being used to fund a $1.8 million upgrade to the station forecourt. Works were completed in mid 2014.[7]
