Constructed by Doubikin Constructions Pty Ltd at a cost of $2.8 million, Currambine station opened on 8 August 1993 as the final station from the original plan for the Joondalup line. The station was originally built on the western side of the Mitchell Freeway reserve to limit the distance between the car park and platform. It was decided to relocate the station 60 m (200 ft) to the east during the extension of the Joondalup line to Clarkson, so that the station would be in the median of the Mitchell Freeway. This was done to reduce the noise and vibration impact on houses near the railway line and for consistency with the rest of the Joondalup line and Mandurah line. Constructed by John Holland at a cost of $3.2 million, the relocated station opened on 4 October 2004.
Currambine station is 29.2 km (18.1 mi) from Perth Underground station, with train journeys there taking 29 minutes. Train headways reach as low as five minutes during peak hour, with off peak services at 15 minute headways.
