A new station (Flinders) is under construction to serve the growing area. Preliminary works commenced in 2011 and the station is expected to open in 2014.^[3]

The station has two side platforms- one on the main line and one on a passing loop, and is often used as a passing point for trains of the opposing direction to cross each other.
