History
Killara station opened on 10 July 1899.[5] 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.[6]
An upgrade to the station, including three lifts and tactile indicators was completed in November 2023.[7]
