Criterion A – Processes                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The lighthouse tower and nearby remains of the military installation.                                                                        Smoky Cape Lighthouse, established in 1891, is significant for its association with the development of New South Wales maritime navigational aids during the nineteenth century. A major light
This criterion is satisfied by places that have significant heritage value because of [their] importance in the course, or pattern, of Australia's natural or cultural history.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          in the NSW system, Smoky Cape has important associations with shipping over a lengthy period and it reflects growth in coastal trade by the end of the nineteenth century. Further, the concrete remains of a wartime military installation reflect the site's connection with the Second World War.
Criterion B – Rarity                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The lighthouse's mass concrete construction and the original Chance Brothers revolving apparatus, lens and lantern house.

Criterion E – Aesthetics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The lighthouse and its landscape setting.                                                                                                    The lighthouse stands on top of a granite headland 140 metres above sea level, making the light the highest on the NSW coast. Its dramatic siting and its prominence in a remote setting create significant aesthetic qualities.

Criterion G – Social value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Not clarified                                                                                                                                Well known among tourists and local people, Smoky Cape Lighthouse is of social significance for the community.
