The depot was designed by Sidney Williams & Co and built from 1940 to 1943. It is also known as Dubbo RAAF Stores Depot, No. 5 and No. 6 Stores Depot; No. 2 Stores Depot Detachment D; Defence National Storage and Distribution Centre Detachment. The property is owned by private companies, Andorra Developments and Belmorgan Property Development. The depot was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 29 June 2004.
