History

Much of the station was extensively altered in the 1980s, following the introduction of CTC between Ararat and Serviceton.[3]
Boom barriers were provided at the nearby High Street level crossing in 1980, replacing hand-operated gates.[4]
A turntable, which was originally from Murtoa, was provided in 1988.[5]
