In 1996, as part of the construction of the Gold Coast line, the standard gauge line was converted to dual gauge.[4]

In 2024 as part of the Cross River Rail project, Salisbury station will receive an full accessibility upgrade with major changes being a new third platform, upgraded overpass with lifts, a new station building and more. Construction is expected to start in 2024 and finish the following year.[5]

A business case has been opened by the Government of Australia and Queensland Government for a proposed passenger rail service from Salisbury to Beaudesert, which would use the existing NSW TrainLink railway from Salisbury to Undullah, then a soon to be built railway from Undullah to Beaudesert.[6]
