The three options were south-west, north-west or north-east of Benara Road and Tonkin Highway. In the end, the north-east option was the most preferred option, with 66% of respondents preferring that option.

Passengers will access the station by either a walkway to the Benara Road bridge or a walkway across Tonkin Highway to the carpark. The carpark will be located east of Tonkin Highway and be accessed via Benara Road. It will have 400 car bays and a drop off zone. Two bus stands will be located on Benara Road. A pedestrian underpass will be built under Benara Road to allow pedestrians to safely and easily access the station and bus stop. Facilities at the station will include passenger toilets and a kiosk.

Noranda station will be served by Transperth Trains operating along the Morley–Ellenbrook railway line to Perth and Ellenbrook railway stations. It is projected that a journey to Perth will take 18 minutes. Noranda station is in fare zone 2. Noranda station is projected to have 1,810 passenger boardings per day in 2031.
