The Australian Railway Historical Society Museum is a short walk from the station, along Champion Road.

Land east of the station was once occupied by a strip of historic commercial premises, but is now used as car parking. Various proposals have been made by railway land manager VicTrack to subdivide this land for a high-density residential development.[2]

Boom barriers were provided at the Ferguson Street level crossing in 1967.[3]
