   4.2  Related object and associated AMSA artefacts
There are currently no AMSA artefacts located at Cape Baily Lighthouse.
   4.3  Comparative analysis
Cape Baily lighthouse is closest in design to two other AMSA-operated lighthouses, Stokes Point and Cape Liptrap.
Cape Liptrap is located in north-east Victoria and was built one year after Cape Baily in 1951 to replace an earlier 1913 lighthouse. Stokes Point is located on the southern end of King Island, Tasmania. Built in 1952, the lantern room was removed at a later date. Similarly to Cape Baily, Cape Liptrap and Stokes Point are simple square lighthouses
Both Stokes Point and Cape Liptrap vary markedly in design from Cape Baily as can be seen in Figures 17 & 18 below.

The following information is taken directly from the Commonwealth Heritage listing for Cape Baily Lighthouse (Place ID: 105571).
Commonwealth statement of significance
The following statement of significance is taken directly from Cape Baily Lighthouse's Commonwealth heritage listing:
    Cape Baily Lighthouse, constructed during 1950-51, is significant for reflecting the ongoing development of navigational aids along the Australian coast during the twentieth century, and for its association with the post-war development of Botany Bay as a major port for Sydney. (Criterion A.4) (Themes: 3.8.1 Shipping to and from Australian ports, 3.16.1 Dealing with hazards and disasters)
    The lighthouse is unusual in that it is comprised of a 1950s concrete tower and a late nineteenth century lantern. (Criterion B.2)
    The tower, located on a rise behind dramatic cliffs, and rising above coastal vegetation and wetlands, is a landmark feature of the local area. (Criterion E.1)
Commonwealth heritage criteria
There are nine criteria for inclusion in the Commonwealth Heritage List, meeting any one of these is sufficient for listing a place. These criteria are similar to those used in other Commonwealth, state and local heritage legislation, although thresholds differ. In the following sections, Cape Baily Lighthouse is discussed in relation to each of the criteria as based on the site's current Commonwealth Heritage Listing (Place ID: 105571)
Criterion                                                                                                                                                                                              Attributes                                                                            Explanation
