Criteria C
Barnet's lighthouse is a close copy of Greenway's original lighthouse and so constitutes a rare architectural replica of an early important colonial building by an important early architect.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        National Criteria F
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      State/Local Criteria C
Albeit modified, the site with its levelled terrace with symmetrically placed structures is able to demonstrate the configuration of Greenway's original compound design for the lightstation and the early nineteenth century taste for Palladian-style architecture shared by Francis Greenway, Lachlan Macquarie and Henry Kitchen.                                                                                                State/Local Criteria C

Criteria (g) Social, Cultural and Spiritual Values
The Macquarie Lighthouse is of significance as a landmark and symbol of the settlement of Sydney and Governor Macquarie's essential role in development of the colony. The numerous representations of the lighthouse as seen in artworks, logos and stamps etc. demonstrates the social and cultural appeal of the lighthouse for various sectors of the broad community of Sydney.                                                                                                                                                      State/Local Criteria D
The high value accorded the Macquarie Lightstation is also demonstrated by its inclusion in numerous heritage registers indicating wide agreement that the site is of exceptional significance. As a recognised place of heritage value, the Macquarie Lightstation is likely to be held in esteem by groups interested in historical architecture, lighthouses and the history of marine navigational aids in Australia and those who are interested in the colonial heritage of Sydney and the early establishment of the settlement.   State/Local Criteria D
As the lightstation was manned from the time of its initial construction in 1818 until the mid 1970s, the place has a special association with former lighthouse keepers, their families and other associated staff who lived and worked at the lightstation, as well as their descendants.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               State/Local Criteria D

Criteria (h) Historic Associations
The Macquarie Lightstation is of exceptional significance for its associations with the life and works of many people of importance in the history of New South Wales.
The Macquarie Lightstation is strongly associated with Governor Lachlan Macquarie, who commissioned its building in 1816 and for whom the lightstation is named.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      National Criteria H
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      State/Local Criteria B
The lightstation is also strongly associated with its convict architect Francis Greenway, who is now considered one of the greatest names in Australian colonial architecture. Although no longer surviving, Greenway's lighthouse design was copied by James Barnet, attesting to the importance and regard Greenway's work was work was held in even in the 19th century.

The place has strong associations with the NSW Colonial Architect James Barnet, an influential architect responsible for some of Sydney's most significant 19th century public buildings, and who designed the existing lighthouse (based on Greenway's original design), the Assistant Keeper's Quarters and the Engineer's & Assistant's Quarters.
