The station is planned to be part of the Melbourne Airport rail link which connects with the Metro Tunnel. Trains will terminate at the airport before departing towards Sunshine, stations in the Melbourne CBD before becoming the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines.[3]

Project pause

In 2023, the Andrews government officially confirmed that the construction was paused until a review of the country's pipeline was completed.

Deputy Premier Jacinta Allan confirmed that the work was temporarily halted, as well as the Clyde, McGregor, and Racecourse road projects. Allan confirmed that all the workers for the project will be redeployed to other infrastructure projects.[4]
