Some comments (not a review):
The history section is lacking - it gives minimal information about the station's establishment at all (compare Butler railway station for the kinds of things not mentioned, though given the station's age obviously that length would not be expected). If anything has happened at the station in 50 years, that's also not mentioned.
It could use a minor reorganisation - mashing history and a description of the station doesn't fit together very well, and there's a little bit about zoning that seems a bit random appended to the "services" section. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:00, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think a better comparison would be to Daglish railway station. It is of a similar scale to Challis station. I will do further research this week. Hopefully I can find the contractor, construction cost and the date for commencement of construction. Even then, I expect this article to be slightly shorter than the Daglish article.

I looked at Daglish but refrained from commenting on that one as, while I think it's on the short side, it covers the key points at least. I used the Butler example because it's a modern outer suburban station (whereas Daglish has other notable aspects, such as the development of the surrounding estate) and illustrates things that are missing, but even Daglish still includes the specific reasons for its construction there and the sources of pressure to do so, the construction process (beyond the date of opening) and pressure to do it, and subsequent developments in the decades since.
For another example, the Butler article makes clear that a station at that site had been long-planned and goes through how the Barnett government came to build it. All of that sort of context is missing here - it's just said to have appeared in the 70s because of suburban development. Going off the opening date, it seems to have been built during the Tonkin Labor government, which may explain why it was built at all considering the subsequent Court government's hostility towards public transport (I don't know enough about Brand, before Tonkin) - I find it hard to believe things about this weren't published at the time.

In regards to sources, I was able to find some information in the local newspaper, the Armadale-Gosnells Comment News. I was also able to find some information in Hansard records. The changes made since the above comment are here.
I checked the following sources with no success:
The West Australian and The Sunday Times for the dates surrounding the station's opening. I would be surprised if those newspapers had more information than the local newspaper anyway.
I see government sources, a few articles from newspapers or other news services, and a citation to a specialist book. All reliable to me. I don't see anything that needs citations that isn't cited to a reliable source. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We have one image, released into the public domain by its uploader. I think a second image would be helpful, but I see there aren't any other images on Commons right now, and it's not a major issue for a short and sweet article like this one.
