Lighthouses are an important part of the network of aids to navigation around the Australian coastline with many being heritage listed. Lighthouses are a historical symbol of safety and have been a part of ensuring safe passage for ships along our coastline for over 100 years.
View our network of 55 historical lighthouses on our Heritage lighthouse interactive map [1].
As the custodian of many iconic historic sites, we recognise the importance of preserving their cultural heritage.
We manage the lighthouse sites by using the AMSA heritage strategy as a guide. The strategy is a response to the requirements set out in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) [2]. The 2022 version of the Heritage strategy [3] is available now, replacing the 2018 version.
