The station was originally proposed in 2015, as part of a larger list of potential future station sites.[2] On June 24, 2016, Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca announced that three new stations on the Barrie line corridor would be added as part of the RER plan: Kirby station in Vaughan, Mulock station in Newmarket, and Innisfil station in Innisfil.[3] Metrolinx later approved the plan for the new stations on June 28, 2016.[4]

The Town of Newmarket also plans to create the Mulock Station Area Secondary Plan, a plan to provide development to the area around the future station. The Secondary Plan will provide places of residence, places of work, convenient connections to transportation, social services, and parks and outdoor areas in an approximate 79 hectares (200 acres) of area around the station site,[5] with an estimated cost of C$240,000.[6]
