2023.
Provision for the station was made when the Mandurah line was built during the 2000s. There were several proposals to build the station during the 2010s but, when the state Labor Party came to power in 2017, it had committed to build the nearby Karnup station, not Lakelands. However, the federal Coalition government wanted Lakelands station to be built, and committed to funding 80% of the A$80 million required. The federal government refused requests for the funding to be transferred to the Karnup station project, and that project was put on hold so that the state could provide its share of funding for Lakelands. That resulted in accusations that the federal government was pork barrelling, because Lakelands station was in Liberal MP Andrew Hastie's seat, whereas Karnup station was in a safe Labor seat, held by Madeleine King.
In January 2021, ADCO Constructions was awarded the contract for the design and construction of Lakelands station. The design was released in May 2021, and was approved after a few revisions. Early works began in August 2021 and major works began in late 2021. The station opened on 11 June 2023, $8 million under budget. It has 10-minute train frequency during peak, a 15-minute frequency outside peak and on weekends and public holidays, and a 30 to 60 minute frequency at night. The station is served by five bus routes and a 400-bay car park.
