The station was renamed in July 1911 following the death of local pioneer Thomas Petrie.[2][3]
As part of the Redcliffe Peninsula line, the station was expanded with a new island platform built east of the existing platforms.[4][5] It opened along with the rest of the line on 4 October 2016.[6] As part of the project, a third track was added south of the station to Lawnton.[7] North of the station, the Redcliffe Peninsula line branches off.
