Facilities
Upper Ferntree Gully is located between the Burwood Highway and Railway Avenue, with station access from both, via an underpass.
The station consists of an island platform, with a large brick building at the Belgrave end of the station. The building houses an enclosed waiting area, ticket facilities and toilets. A large Metcard ticket vending machine is located inside the waiting room, which is able to dispense most ticketing options available and also accept notes and coins. Stabling sidings are located on both sides of the station.
Upper Ferntree Gully contains a signal panel, installed in 1964 that controls the single track line between Ferntree Gully and Belgrave.
The station also monitors, via closed circuit television, all stations from Heathmont to Belgrave and answers emergency calls from those stations.
