History
The station opened in 1939 upon construction of the Cronulla Line as a single-platform station.
Kirrawee was rebuilt as part of the duplication of the remaining single track sections of the Cronulla line, under the CityRail Clearways Project. Work commenced in late 2007 and was completed in 2010. The platform used to extend to the other side of the Oak Road overbridge but was straightened by extending the platform to the east.
