Elizabeth Quay station is surrounded by Mounts Bay Road to the north, William Street to the east, and Elizabeth Quay bus station to the west. The adjacent stations are Perth Underground station to the north and Canning Bridge station to the south. The station is owned by the Public Transport Authority.{{cite web |title=Public Transport Authority: Railway System: April 2019 |url=https://pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/15/AA_DOCUMENTS/Our_system/Freight%20network/PTA%20Rail%20Network%20Map_2019.pdf |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=26 October 2023 |archive-date=24 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190724085310/https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/Portals/15/AA_DOCUMENTS/Our_system/Freight%20network/PTA%20Rail%20Network%20Map_2019.pdf |url-status=live }}

Elizabeth Quay station has one island platform with two platform faces. The platform is connected to the ground-level concourse by stairs, escalators and a lift. Initially four escalators were planned to be installed, but that was reduced to two to cut costs, with there being room to install more later.{{cite news |last1=Pryer |first1=Wendy |title=Esplanade problems escalate |work=The West Australian |date=17 February 2005 |page=9}} There is one entrance to the station: on the northern side.

There are two pieces of public art at Elizabeth Quay station: Journey as One, by Norma MacDonald, Les MacDonald and Robyn Templeton, and Journey, by The Glow Studio (Jude Bunn). Journey as One is a mosaic made of glass, glass mosaics, ceramic, ceramic tiles, natural stone and aluminium, on the station's southern interior wall. It consists of 12 side-by-side segments which are each {{convert|1.2|m}} wide and {{convert|1.8|m}} high, and "presents a continuous narrative depicting the past, present and future association of the Nyoongar people with the [...] station site.{{cite web |title=Journey as One |url=https://www.pta.wa.gov.au/our-system/public-art#cbp=mediaid411 |website=Public Transport Authority |access-date=27 October 2023}}{{cite web |title=OnTrack: Issue 17 |url=http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/Portals/0/NMR/Documents/Resources/Publications/On%20Track/OnTrack%20August%202007.pdf |website=New MetroRail |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828235832/http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/Portals/0/NMR/Documents/Resources/Publications/On%20Track/OnTrack%20August%202007.pdf |archive-date=28 August 2007 |page=8 |date=August 2007}} Journey is a plaque which contains abstract imagery relating to the Mandurah line, including the names of stations on the line.

Upon opening on 20 December 1992, Yanchep line (then Joondalup line) trains stopped at the above-ground Perth station and continued east of there as the Armadale line. The first South West Metropolitan Railway Master Plan, published in 1999, detailed the route of the future Mandurah line. It would branch off the Armadale line at Kenwick, requiring no new stations in the Perth central business district (CBD).{{sfn|South West Metropolitan Railway Master Plan|1999|loc=Figure 1}} Following the election of the Labor Party to power in the 2001 state election, the route of the Mandurah line was changed. A new master plan was released, outlining the new and more direct route, which travels in a tunnel under the Perth CBD before surfacing and running down the median of the Kwinana Freeway from Perth to Kwinana. The new route had two new stations within the Perth CBD: Perth Underground station, which was known during construction as William Street station, and Elizabeth Quay station, which was known prior to 2016 as Esplanade station, after the nearby road named The Esplanade and the Esplanade Reserve.{{sfn|Perth Urban Rail Development Project – Supplementary Master Plan|2002|p=v, figure 2}} Esplanade station had a predicted number of weekday boardings of 10,000.{{sfn|Perth Urban Rail Development Project – Supplementary Master Plan|2002|p=48}}

New MetroRail was formed in March 2003 to manage the construction of the Mandurah line, among other rail projects in Perth.{{cite web |title=OnTrack: Issue 1 |url=http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Resources/Publications/On%20Track/OnTrack%202003-03.pdf |website=New MetroRail |access-date=20 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070829000033/http://www.newmetrorail.wa.gov.au/NMR/Documents/Resources/Publications/On%20Track/OnTrack%202003-03.pdf |archive-date=29 August 2007 |page=1 |date=March 2003}}{{cite web |title=Visionary rail expansion moves from plan to reality |url=https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Gallop-Labor-Government/Visionary-rail-expansion-moves-from-plan-to-reality-20030320 |website=Media Statements |access-date=26 October 2023 |date=20 March 2003 |archive-date=27 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231027035707/https://www.wa.gov.au/government/media-statements/Gallop-Labor-Government/Visionary-rail-expansion-moves-from-plan-to-reality-20030320 |url-status=live }}

The construction of the Mandurah line, also known as the Southern Suburbs Railway, was divided into eight main packages. Esplanade station was part of Package F, which also included {{convert|700|m}} of bored tunnels, {{convert|600|m}} of cut-and-cover tunnels, the construction of Perth Underground station, the connection of the railway to the rest of the network west of Perth station, and construction of tracks and overhead wiring within the tunnels.
