Harbourfront is a Wentworth Metro station on the Swan and Circle lines. It is the southeastern terminus of the Swan Line and serves the eastern end of the suburb of Gunnamatta. It opened in 1972 following an extension from the Swan Line's original terminus at Bayswater. The underground Circle Line platforms opened shortly after in 1973.
The station is built in a cutting directly under the southern approach to the Bayswater Bridge, and thus has noise barriers to mitigate noise pollution from the Bayswater Expressway above it.
Harbourfront station is the only station within fare zone 1 with at-grade platforms.
==History==
Harbourfront was constructed as part of the Swan Line's Bayswater Peninsula extension. Although the Swan Line was originally supposed to run to the end of the Bayswater Peninsula at Gunnamatta, construction difficulties, complaints from local residents and an exhaustion of funding resulted in the sudden halting of construction beyond Bayswater station, although stub tunnels were constructed to continue the line in the future. Funding was secured for an extension in 1968, and construction recommenced in 1969. Harbourfront was known as "Gunnamatta" during planning, while the present-day Gunnamatta station was known as "Bayswater East". Residents campaigned for a name change as they felt the "Gunnamatta" station name was better suited to serve the suburb's commercial centre.
The Swan Line extension opened in June 1972. Harbourfront was constructed to be an interchange station with the Circle Line, which was constructed concurrently; the underground Circle Line platforms opened 11 months later in May 1973.
The station received a major reconstruction in the late 1980s, which involved a reconfiguration of the concourse, platforms and track alignment, a new exterior design, and the relocation of the station entrance to the northern side of Taplan Road, as part of the construction of the Bayswater Bridge. The new station opened in 1989.
