The designs include the station being relocated onto a higher rail bridge over King William Street, replacing the existing rail bridge and increasing the clearance from 3.8m to 4.8m, having full disability access and more public space under the rail line.

Platforms will be realigned closer to Whatley Crescent and expanded to accommodate six-car trains.

A section of Whatley Crescent will be lowered between King William and Hamilton streets to create a second underpass connecting to Beechboro Road under the rail bridge.

The authority will release the construction tender in early 2019 with work set to start in late 2019.
