The station consists of an island layout and side platform; Platforms 1 & 2 (island platform) has a brick building opened in July 1987 housing an enclosed waiting area, ticket facilities and toilets, while platform 3 has a small weatherboard building. Myki ticket vending machines are located inside the waiting area, and at the entrance to platform 3.
Glenhuntly station is located next to a "tram square", one of only four crossings in Melbourne at which tram and train tracks intersect along with their electrified overhead wires. A small signal box is situated at the Flinders Street end of the tram square which controls the tramway crossing. Trains are restricted to 15 km/h through it due to the deteriorating condition of the crossing, with freight trains further restricted.[1] In 2009 the tram square as well as the pit of the station was reconstructed.
