History[]
Banksia station opened on 21 October 1906 with one island platform.[2] In 1923, as part of the quadruplication of the Illawarra line from Wolli Creek to Rockdale, Platforms 1 and 4 were built along with an underpass.[3][4]
In August 2020, an upgrade to Banksia station as part of the Station Access Program was proposed. It includes the addition of lifts, heavily modified entrances, canopy extensions, and upgraded toilets. Construction began in December 2020 and is scheduled to be completed in late 2021.[5]
