The station has a bus interchange directly alongside and is adjacent to a large commuter park & ride facility.

Noarlunga Centre opened on 2 April 1978 as the terminus of the line when it was extended from Christie Downs.

Passengers accessed the platforms via escalators or a ramp and typically had a long walk between trains and buses.

However a number of the extra railcars needed for peak-hour services on the line are stabled overnight in secure sidings at Port Stanvac, around four kilometres north, just beyond Lonsdale station.
