approximately 10 in-situ concrete towers constructed prior to 1920.
                                                                                                                                           The optic, cast iron and copper lantern house are examples of the late 19th century industrial technology. The optic is rare due to its detailed configuration consisting of triple panels which provide the triple group flash. One of numerous 12' diameter Chance lanterns, it is one of only four known to have both a trapezoidal glazing pattern and trinity type vent.

An item possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of NSW's cultural or natural history.
SHR Criterion G – Representativeness                                                                                                       Representative of the work of James Barnet, NSW colonial architect.
An item is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of NSW's:
    * Cultural or natural places; or
    * Cultural or natural environments

These heritage values, identified and explained within the Commonwealth Heritage List and the State Heritage Register, will form the basis of the management of the Smoky Cape Lighthouse. In the event of necessary works, all criterions will be consulted to inform best practice management of the values associated with the lightstation.
(See Section 7. Conservation management policies for further information on strategies to conserve heritage values of the Smoky Cape Lighthouse).
  5.3  Condition and integrity of the Commonwealth heritage values
A heritage monitoring program was implemented in 2016. Each site is visited and reviewed every two years where the heritage fabric is evaluated. Assessment of the condition and integrity of lighthouse's value are derived from the latest available Heritage Asset Condition Report produced by AMSA's maintenance contractor.
'Condition' is measured on a Good – Fair – Poor scale and incorporates the current condition of the specific value.
Integrity is measured on a High – Medium – Low scale which incorporates the value's intactness.
As a whole, the Commonwealth heritage values for Smoky Cape Lighthouse are in good condition and maintain high integrity. The lighthouse's continued use as a marine AtoN, with original apparatus and lantern house, reinforces its association with navigation development during the 19th century.
Criteria                      Values (including attributes)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Condition  Integrity
a) Processes                  Established in 1891, Smoky Cape is significant for its association with the development of marine aids to navigation along the New South Wales coastline during the nineteenth century.                                                                           Good       High
                              Its construction reflects the growth of coastal trade by the end of the nineteenth century.
                              Additionally, the nearby remains of a wartime military installation demonstrate the site's connection to World War II.
b) Rarity                     Smoky Cape is one of only three 19th century mass concrete lighthouses in NSW. Additionally, the existence of the original Chance Brothers revolving apparatus, lens and lantern house                           enforces the lighthouse's
