Design
A perceived deficiency of the station is that there is only one island platform on the four track section of the Illawarra line, meaning that services using the 'Illawarra local' tracks have no means to stop at Wolli Creek. Though there are a set of points immediately south of the station to allow trains to cross-over from the 'Illawarra local' tracks to the 'Illawarra main' tracks to access platforms 3 and 4. Also, trains from the East Hills line travelling on to Tempe and Sydenham have no platforms at which to stop at Wolli Creek. This deficiency has been identified by RailCorp, and there are long term plans to construct additional platforms at Wolli Creek to enable better interchange of services.
