In the lead-up to the 2018 State Election, the opposition Liberal Party promised A$300m to duplicate the line between Greensborough and Eltham, and provide Montmorency station with a second platform.[2]

On 15 May 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that planning for the duplication of the line between Eltham and Greensborough was underway,[3] with the project expected to start in late 2021.[4] The station will be rebuilt approximately 100m west of the current station, and will include a new platform.[5] Final designs of the new station were released on 9 February 2021.[6]
