History
Noble Park station, like the suburb itself, is named after Noble Buckley, the son of Allan Buckley, who is recognised as the founder of the suburb.In 1927, the station was closed to goods traffic. In 1954, flashing light signals were provided at the former Heatherton Road level crossing, which was located near the station in the up direction.
In 1972, new ground-level station buildings were provided, after the original station building on Platform 1 had been destroyed by an arsonist on 22 August 1970. In 1977, boom barriers were provided at the former Heatherton Road level crossing.
In 2007, minor upgrade works were carried out to the station as part of the EastLink toll road project. The upgrades including improved shelter, car parking and better security, including brighter lighting and better CCTV coverage.
In September 2007, Sudanese Australian Liep Gony was murdered near Noble Park station by two white men, one of whom had previously expressed the desire to kill a black man. The murder sparked a media and political storm about so-called African gangs.
In 2015, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced the grade separation of the Heatherton Road level crossing, with construction beginning in 2016. The final scheme involved elevating the line over Corrigan, Heatherton and Chandler Roads and included a new high-level station, which opened on 15 February 2018. A row of shops now occupies the site of the former ground-level station buildings.
In April 2025, during the 2025 Australian federal election campaign, the station's exterior was damaged after a Liberal Party campaign truck crashed into the station.
