In 1963, a third line was provided between Hawthorn and Camberwell.[2] These works included a new Up platform (Platform 1), with Platform 2 becoming a bi-directional platform.[2]

It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 26 February 1996.[3]

The station complex is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.[4]
