Colorbond garages across Dubbo and the Orana.
Lock-up garages for the cars, the ute, the caravan and the boat. From a neat single on a town block in Dubbo to a high-clearance triple with a workshop bay on an acreage near Wongarbon. Supplied, slabbed and erected, engineered for Region A wind.
From a single lock-up to a triple with a workshop.
A garage is the most popular building we put up on Dubbo town and lifestyle blocks, because it does three jobs at once: it gets the car out of the summer sun and the winter frost, it gives you a secure store for the tools and the bikes, and it adds real value at resale. The right design comes down to how many vehicles, how tall they are, and whether you want a workshop or storage in the same footprint.
Single and double garages.
A single (around 6m x 3.5m) suits a town block and one car plus a wall of shelving. A double (6m x 6m) is the Dubbo default: two cars, or one car and a generous workshop and storage zone. Both come standard with a sectional or roller door, a personal access door and the option of a window for light.
Triple and oversized garages.
On the larger blocks toward Geurie and out on the lifestyle acreages, a triple (around 9m wide) lets you fit two cars and keep a full bay as a workshop, or park the work ute, the family car and the trailer under one roof. We can run the roof line to match the house and pick a Colorbond colour from the current range.
Caravan and boat garages.
The mistake we fix most often is a garage built too short for the van. An A-frame caravan, a boat on a trailer or a 4WD with a roof rack needs a 3.0m to 3.6m wall height and a tall roller door, not a standard 2.4m opening. Tell us the tallest thing going in and we size the eave and the door to clear it with room to spare.
The detail that makes a garage last.
A garage is only as good as its slab and its footings. On Dubbo's reactive clay soils we reinforce and size the slab to the soil class so the floor does not crack and the door tracks stay square through the seasonal swell and shrink. A cheap thin slab is the false economy that shows up two summers later as a stuck door and a cracked floor.
We frame every garage to AS 1170 Region A wind loads and supply the engineering certificate, which you will need for council approval. Most detached garages in the Dubbo Regional area can go through as exempt or complying development if they stay within the size and setback limits, and we confirm that path before you commit. See the shed permits guide for the approval detail and the shed cost guide for the numbers.
A double garage with a caravan bay in Dubbo.
A 9m x 6m garage with a standard 2.7m double bay and a taller 3.4m caravan bay alongside, on a town block in Dubbo, comes to roughly $26,000 to $38,000 supplied and erected in 2026, plus around $8,000 to $13,000 for the reinforced slab. That gives you two cars under cover, the van locked away out of the sun and a personal access door so you are not lifting a roller door to grab a tool. We itemise the frame, cladding, doors and slab in a fixed written quote.

Common garage questions.
How much does a garage cost in Dubbo?
As a 2026 guide: a single garage (around 6m x 3.5m x 2.7m) is roughly $11,000 to $18,000 supplied and erected; a standard double (6m x 6m x 2.7m) sits around $16,000 to $26,000; a high-clearance triple or double-plus-workshop (9m x 7m x 3.4m) runs $28,000 to $45,000. The slab usually adds $5,000 to $12,000.
Do I need council approval for a garage in Dubbo?
In the Dubbo Regional council area a detached garage can often be approved as exempt development if it is under the floor-area and height limits in the NSW Codes SEPP, sits behind the building line and meets boundary setbacks. Larger, closer-to-boundary, heritage-area or attached garages generally need a complying development certificate or a development application.
Can you build a garage with a workshop or carport attached?
Yes. A common Dubbo layout is a double garage with a skillion lean-to down one side, or a workshop bay at the back with a personal access door and a window. We can also run an attached carport off the front. It is more cost-effective to design these in from the start than to add them later.
What is the right wall height for a caravan or boat garage?
A standard garage at 2.7m to the eave suits cars and most utes. For a caravan, a tall boat on a trailer, or a 4WD with a roof rack, step up to a 3.0m to 3.6m wall height and a taller roller door, because a 2.4m door will not clear an A-frame caravan. Tell us the tallest thing going in and we size the door and the eave around it.
