History

This station was built in 1920. It was originally named Silicate Siding, and was renamed Taperoo on 22 November 1920.

Originally a step down platform, it was replaced with the current island platform in 1955.

The station was upgraded in 2017 with a new shelter along with new signage and lighting.
