History

Waitara station opened on 20 April 1895. The original station was replaced by the present structure in 1909 when the line was duplicated.
Waitara is one of a very few stations in Australia to have the origins of the name come from a Māori word; it means "pure water". It was suggested to the Railway Commissioner by Myles McRae, who had owned land at Hurstville called "Waitara," which he had purchased from G. B. Walker, a manager of a land company.
The station was upgraded with a new underpass constructed at the northern end of the station and a lift built, in February 2024.
