History

The first station seen in 1907. Waitara railway station 1907.jpg
The first station seen in 1907.

Waitara station opened on 20 April 1895. [3] The original station was replaced by the present structure in 1909 when the line was duplicated. [4]

Waitara is one of a very few stations in Australia to have the origins of the name come from a Māori word; it means "pure water". It was suggested to the Railway Commissioner by Myles McRae, who had owned land at Hurstville called "Waitara," which he had purchased from G. B. Walker, a manager of a land company.

The station was upgraded with a new underpass constructed at the northern end of the station and a lift built, in February 2024. [5]
