Originally, the station had 49 parking bays across the two existing Park 'n' Ride facilities on Lillian Avenue. In 2021, a new Park 'n' Ride facility located on Lillian Avenue/Dollis Street (western side of the railway) opened, increasing the number of car bays and decreasing parking on local streets. The station had 135 parking bays, plus 12 motorcycle bays. All accessible parking bays are located in the existing car park. [6]

In 2024 as part of the Cross River Rail project, Salisbury station will receive a full accessibility upgrade with major changes being a new third platform, upgraded overpass with lifts, a new station building and more. The station closed on 9 December 2024 and is expected to re-open in mid-2026. [7] [8]

A business case has been opened by the Government of Australia and Queensland Government for a proposed passenger rail service from Salisbury to Beaudesert, which would use the existing NSW TrainLink railway from Salisbury to Undullah, then a soon to be built railway from Undullah to Beaudesert.
