The
Gold Coast railway line opened in stages from 1996 to 2009. During its construction, provisions were made for a future station at Pimpama however due to low development in the area at the time, the station was never built when the original alignment opened. In November 2017, the
Queensland Government committed to building three new
in-fill stations on the Gold Coast Line as part of the
AU$5.4 billion
Cross River Rail project: Pimpama,
Hope Island and
Merrimac. The Pimpama site was chosen in order to accommodate growing population in the region, and to alleviate pressure on the nearby Ormeau and Coomera railway stations. ADCO Constructions was contracted to design and build the station. with "major works" having begun by January 2023. The station opened on 20 October 2025. ==Services==
