The station is located at the southern end of the Lower Plenty Road level crossing, which also provides platform access. Shops are located near the station.

The station consists of two side platforms. Platform 1 contains a large fibro building while platform 2 contains a small fibro building. A large Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 1, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. A small Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 2.

Between Rosanna and Heidelberg station the line is single track, and passes under a hill by a short tunnel. This arrangement results in delays to trains during busy periods as only one train can occupy the section at one time.
