It was originally proposed that the station, initially named Airport West, would be situated east of Dunreath Drive, within the airport boundaries. In September 2014 revised plans called for the station to be relocated approximately 400 metres (440 yd) to the west under Brearley Avenue, and renamed Belmont.[2]

The station will include a bus interchange and 500 car parking spaces.[3] Services to Perth and High Wycombe will be provided by Transperth Trains.[3][4]

The station is planned to open in 2021.[5]
