It serves the eastern suburb of Malvern, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Tooronga station is a ground level unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 24 March 1890, with the current station provided in 1975.^[4]

History

Tooronga station opened on 24 March 1890, when the railway line from Burnley was extended to Eastmalvern.^[4] The station is named after nearby Tooronga Road, which in turn was named after an adjacent two-story property. The word Tooronga is Indigenous, meaning "modern" or "new".^[5]^[6]

In 1955, the current station platforms were provided, when duplication of the line occurred between Kooyong and Gardiner.^[4]

In 1966, boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Tooronga Road level crossing, located at the down end of the station. The signal box protecting the level crossing and a goods yard were also abolished during that time.^[4]

In 1975, the current station buildings were provided.^[7]
