Stabling facilities are located at the Frankston end of the station, whilst a third track is located through the middle of station, normally only used by Qube's Long Island steel freight train, and trains shunting into the yard.[3] An underpass is located at the Up end of the station.

The Mordialloc station precinct has a number of heritage buildings and elements, including the cottage style historic station buildings (1882 & 1887), and the last remaining example of an Edwardian railway water tower (1910) in Victoria, also known as a "Type H" water tower.[4][5]

In 1979, a new bridge was provided over the Mordialloc Creek, located nearby in the Down direction of the station.[1] In 1981, the goods yard was closed to traffic, and No.4 road was abolished and baulked.[1] The overhead lines for No.4 road and the goods sidings were removed by 1984.[1]

Boom barriers were provided at both the McDonald Street and Bear Street level crossings, located in the Up and Down directions of the station respectfully, in 1986.[6] In June 1988, the former signal box, which was located at the Down end of the station, was demolished, with the signal panel relocated to the main station building on Platform 1.[7]

It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 5 December 1995.[8]

On 9 September 2013, whilst travelling through the McDonald Street level crossing, a wagon on the Long Island steel train derailed, causing lengthy delays.[9][10]

In October 2015, new accessible toilets were provided at the station.[11]

On 7 October 2021, the signal panel was abolished,[12] with control transferred to the Kananook Signal Control Centre.[13]

Announced in October 2022, Mordialloc station will be elevated to remove 7 level crossings on the line. Further details, designs and a construction timeline will be released closer to the opening of the station in 2029.[14]
