History

Killara station opened on 10 July 1899. The name Killara was chosen by J. G Edwards and means “permanent, always here.” The present island platform and station building were completed in 1906 in anticipation of the line being doubled. This occurred in 1909.

An upgrade to the station, including three lifts and tactile indicators was complete in November 2023.
