Leichhardt Tram Depot was built as a twelve road depot on the corner of William Street and Derbyshire Road, Leichhardt, being available for use on 22 June 1915.

[3][4] It was also the central maintenance facility until the Chullora Bus Workshops opened in 1958.

[7] Both the former Cable Stores Building [8] and Traffic Office [9] (also known as the Tram Depot Office) was proposed as part of the cancelled Leichhardt Police Station development.

[10] The depot is also home to the Roads & Maritime Services barrier transfer machine that moves the central barrier on Victoria Road between the Gladesville and Iron Cove Bridges.

[13] As a tram depot, its design had some unique features such as the roller doors, and ancillary store and workshop buildings plus:[14] Media related to Leichhardt Bus Depot at Wikimedia Commons
