The NSW Government Railways intended for the line to eventually connect with the Sydney network in the north, and Jervis Bay or even Eden in the south.
[7] Now confirmed as a permanent railhead, and with Nowra on the Shoalhaven's opposite bank expanding, Bomaderry Station's significance grew.
A large goods yard was added, along with a turntable, dairy siding (1921), weighbridge (1921), railway crew barracks (1924) and crane (1934).
"[2] Bomaderry was also noteworthy as the terminus for the last section of the NSW metropolitan rail network to use the electric staff signalling system.
In 2005, then Minister for Transport John Watkins announced that electrification would be extended to Bomaderry at an unspecified future date, but the proposal did not progress.

The car park (west) elevation of the main platform building has projecting soldier courses in places.
The interior consists of a series of discrete spaces arranged on a linear pattern with direct access from the platform.
The hand painted tiles to the entry lobby and the mural to the waiting room appear to have been part of a recent community art project.
The front veranda has been enclosed with horizontal weatherboards and fixed and louvred timber framed windows, with a door at the western end.

At the south-western end there is a loading dock and access built in 1934 for British Australian Milk Pty Ltd. A set of points is located nearby.
[7] Two other structures associated with the station precinct are located nearby but are privately owned: Located on the eastern side of the railway tracks, opposite the southern end of the platform, within a cyclone wire fenced enclosure, the weighbridge is a small single storey weatherboard building with a gabled corrugated steel roof.
Although the building is privately owned and outside the curtilage, its proximity to and relationship with Bomaderry Station makes it necessary to consider it an important part of the site's history.
