The lighthouse is also important as one of the last built in South Australia before the Commonwealth Government took over the management and control of Australian lighthouses in 1915. (Criterion A.4) (Australian Historic Themes: 3.8 Moving goods and people; 3.8.1 Shipping to and from Australian ports; 3.8.2 Safeguarding Australian products for long journeys; 3.16.1 Dealing with hazards and disasters; 7.4 Federating Australia)
    The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse is part of a relatively intact early nineteenth century complex of lighthouse and service buildings, which contributes to its significance. (Criterion D.2)

    The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse is associated with the Cape du Couedic Flying Fox and Associated Structures (Register No. 7461) and the Cape du Couedic Keepers' Cottages and Sheds (Register No. 7460)
