History


In 2008, the State Government announced the station in the Victorian Transport Plan. Construction was originally intended to commence during 2010, but eventually started in September 2011, with the station opening on 28 April 2013. Construction of the station required the slewing of the existing southern track to make room for the new island platform.
The cost of the station in 2011 was budgeted at $86 million for the station and $24 million for associated road works, including a road overpass over the line. The cost was criticised by the Public Transport Users Association as being too high.
Like the suburb itself, the station was named after the nearby RAAF Williams base, itself named after Sir Richard Williams, an RAAF Chief of Air Force, and the Director General of Civil Aviation between 1946-1955.
