The platform is accessed via an entrance at its northern end on The Parkway. The station was designed to architecturally fit in with the other four stations on the Ellenbrook branch, using the same design language, particularly with the roof geometry and materials used. South-east of the platform is a car park and north-west of the platform is a 12-stand bus interchange and a smaller car park, for a total of approximately 500 bays. Facilities at the station include toilets, a kiosk, and bike shelter. The station is fully wheelchair accessible.^[2]
