The station multi-storey car park has 650 car parking spaces for vehicles. [1]

The station was due to open on 23 January 2011 with no services due to scheduled maintenance works on the Ipswich line, [2] but due to the Queensland floods the opening was brought forward to 17 January 2011 in order to assist with the recovery efforts. [4] On 2 December 2013, the line was extended to Springfield Central. [5] [6]
