History
Moorabbin Station opened on 19 December 1881 as South Brighton, and was renamed Moorabbin in 1907.[1] It was upgraded to a Premium Station in 1998.[2]
In the 1959 the original station was relocated and placed in a deep cutting, coinciding with the construction of road overpasses for both South Road (at the northern end of the station) and Nepean Highway (at the southern end).[3]
In the early 1990s a fire destroyed all shops within the concourse. The concourse was rebuilt and new shops were constructed.
