In March 2014, the state government announced a grade separation project to replace the Clayton and Centre Road level crossings on either side of the station. This included the station.[5]

The rebuilt station was opened in April 2018. It is above ground along one of the three sections of elevated rail that was built along the Pakenham-Crossing line to replace the level crossings as part of the Victorian Level Crossing Removal projects. The station is accessible by escalator, lift and stairs.[6]
