introduced plants.                                             Generally sloping ground with close-cut grass, informal plantings of garden shrubs, palms and trees.                                                                                                                                                                                                 Moderately significant for these reasons:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The grounds are well tended and maintained.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The grounds form an essential part of the light­station and demonstrate the modification and civilisation of the site by the lightkeepers (crit­erion a).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Carefully tended grounds are characteristic features of manned light­stations (criterion d).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The grounds con­tribute to the aesth­etic value of the light­station (criterion e)
18 Boulders

                                      Boulders are natural features of the hill slopes.                                                                                                                                                Boulders as plotted on Figure 16 — Plan showing the location of boulders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Moderately signifi­cant for this reason:

                                      Geotechnical con­sultants have carried out annual inspec­tions since 2000 to mon­itor the boulders and assess the risk of them becoming dislodged and rolling down the hill and causing damage.  The condition of the boulders is believed to be stable, but continues to be monitored.                                                                                                                                                                                                               The boulders are a characteristic feature of the landscape setting of the light­station (criterion e).

                                      Stabilisation works were completed in 2006 and annual mon­itoring continues.
19 Access road

                                      New road built in 2009 giving access to the lightstation from the network of roads built as part of the golf course devel­opment.                                                                Concrete surfaced roadway.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Not significant, and intrusive.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The road is in a stable condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The access road is a visually intrusive feature whose impact could potentially be red­uced by land­scape modifications.
20 Spa bath and roof

                                      Spa bath and shelter roof were installed after 1999 on the concrete floor slab of a previous (lightstation) outbuilding.                                                                         Timber gabled roof supported on timber corner posts, covering a standard spa bath.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Not significant, and intrusive.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The structure is in a stable condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The spa bath and roof reduce the aesthetic values of the grounds, and have the potential to confuse the evidence of the way of life of the lightkeepers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            The remnant concrete floor is of moderate signifi­cance because of its evidence of previous use (criterion a).

21 Fowl house

                                      Date of con­struc­tion not known, but probably in the 1950s or 1960s.                                                                                                                            Small shelter with walls sheeted with flat asbestos-cement and roofed with Super-Six corrugated asbestos-cement sheeting.                                                                                                                                                                            Moderately signifi­cant for these reasons:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The shelter encloses one side of a yard of wire mesh supported on galvanised pipe posts.                                                                                                                                                                                                             The fowl house demon­strates the self-sufficiency of the lightkeepers who lived in circum­stances where some local production was needed to ensure a supply of fresh food (crit­erion a).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       The structure is in a stable condition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              The fowl house is a characteristic elem­ent of manned light­stations (criterion d).
