The surviving World War II buildings at Maryborough airport were constructed between 1941 and 1944 as part of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) No. 3 Wireless Air Gunners’ School and No. 3 Air Navigation School.

Maryborough airport is located on the northeast outskirts of Maryborough, to the east of Saltwater Creek Road. Most of the structures associated with RAAF Station Maryborough, which were located either side of the current airport’s entrance drive, have been removed, but the pattern of the interior roads can still be seen on satellite images.

On the right hand side of the airport’s entrance drive is a former inflammables store (a small square building with a hipped roof with large ventilator); a former motor transport garage (with a skillion roof); and a latrine building with a gabled roof. Just east of these is an adapted P1 hut that was part of the Sick Quarters.

Closer to the runway, and now acting as the airport terminal, is another P1 hut, formerly a parachute-packing shed. To the north of the terminal is a galvanised iron Bellman aircraft hangar, one of four that were built, and north of the hangar is another P1 hut, a former Flight Office.
