Gunnamatta is a Wentworth Metro station on the Swan Line. It serves the affluent suburb of Gunnamatta. It opened in 1972 following an extension from the line's original terminus at Bayswater.
==History==
Gunnamatta station was constructed as part of the Swan Line's Bayswater Peninsula extension to Harbourfront. Although the Swan Line was originally supposed to run to the end of the Bayswater Peninsula, a combination of factors, including construction difficulties, complaints from local residents and an exhaustion of funding, resulted in the sudden halting of construction beyond Bayswater station. Stub tunnels were constructed to continue the line in the future. Funding was secured for an extension in 1968, and construction recommenced in 1969. Gunnamatta was known as "Bayswater East" during planning, while the present-day Harbourfront station was known as "Gunnamatta". Residents campaigned for a name change as they felt the "Gunnamatta" station name was better suited to serve the suburb's commercial centre.
The station is built on a relatively steep section of the Swan Line, as it climbs to ground level at Harbourfront. Due to the shallowness of the line at the station, direct access between the two side platforms was not provided at the station's opening; access from platform to platform involved exiting the station and crossing a road. A subway tunnel was opened in 2012 to allow passengers to change platforms without having to leave the station, but it was located outside of the turnstiles, which meant changing platforms still required leaving the paid area. As part of the 2012 upgrades, a lift was installed at the Wolger Street exit, allowing disabled access to Platform 1.
In 2016, the turnstiles were replaced with Oasis card readers on the platforms, allowing passengers to change platforms without having to tap off and tap on again.
