[edit] Facilities

The station consists of three platforms, two in an island format. The island platform (platform 1&2) has a large shelter, while platform 3 has a large old brick building, which was originally Werribee Station before the construction of the underpass.

The underpass beneath the station contains the station's ticket office, a large Metcard ticket machine and a mock Comeng train, which is used as a cafe. A small Metcard machine is located at the entrance to platform 3. Both platforms can be accessed via Comben Drive and Manly Street.
