Moorabbin is located in a cutting, between Nepean Highway and Station Street, with station access from both.
The station consists of an island layout and side platform, with all three platforms having semi-large steel shelters. A concourse is located above the platforms, housing an enclosed waiting area, ticket facilities and Metcard and myki ticket vending machines. Platforms 1 & 2 are used more than platform 3.
Moorabbin Station opened on 19 December 1881 as South Brighton, and was renamed Moorabbin in 1907.[1] It was upgraded to a Premium Station in 1998.[2]
In the 1959 the original station was relocated and placed in a deep cutting, coinciding with the construction of road overpasses for both South Road (at the northern end of the station) and Nepean Highway (at the southern end).[3]
In the early 1990s a fire destroyed all shops within the concourse. The concourse was rebuilt and new shops were constructed.
