In May 2014, the Victorian Government announced a grade separation project to remove the North Road level crossing, requiring the station to be rebuilt.[3] The station temporarily closed on 25 March 2016, to allow for it to be built below street level. The new station opened on 29 August 2016.

The Up face of the former ground level island platform was brought into use on 28 June 1987.[4]
