In September 1987, the signal box was abolished, along with the abolition of all signals, except for one post, the disestablishment of the station as a block post, and all points spiked normal. They were removed at a later date.[2]

Since around 1990, the station building Melbourne-bound side has been leased by a local radio station, while the smaller down-side building has been leased in the past. In April 2008, renovations were carried out to the down-side building, including re-stumping, and replacement of weatherboards.[3]
