History

Montmorency station opened twenty-one years after the railway line from Heidelberg was extended to Hurstbridge.

In the lead-up to the 2018 state election, the opposition Liberal Party promised A$300m to duplicate the line between Greensborough and Eltham, and provide Montmorency with a second platform.

On 15 May 2019, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that planning for the duplication of 3 km of track between Greensborough and Eltham was underway. Final designs of the new station were released on 9 February 2021, with early work of the project commencing in late 2021, with major construction started in 2022. The station was rebuilt approximately west of the current station, and included a new platform. On 30 April 2023, the rebuilt station opened.
