Statement of Significance

Gosnells Railway Station is significant for the continuation of the critical Gosnells connection of the transportation provided by the railway.

Physical Description

The three storey volume station building has a large gable which straddles the railway line and gables over each platform. There are single storey entries to Lissiman and Wheatley streets from the platforms.

History

The original Gosnells Railway Station was built in 1903 on a site further south. For seven years it was only a base platform with no shelter for the passengers. Improvements were made in 1910 with a shelter and a Stationmaster's house provided. The Armadale line was upgraded and a new railway station was constructed immediately behind the commercial area of Gosnells town centre in 2005.
