and the historic development of navigational aids from 1790 to the present day and any remains uncovered have the potential to be of National significance.   National Criteria C
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          State/Local Criteria E
The structural remains of the Greenway lightstation have the potential to provide further insight into early architectural practices and may shed light on the nature of this significant early engineering achievement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  State/Local Criteria E
The archaeological deposits and artefacts associated with the continuous occupation of this site since 1790 as a Government institutional site have the potential to provide further information into early colonial foodways and material culture, patterns of consumption and subsistence practices and other relevant research questions.[2]                                                                                                           National Criteria C
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          State/Local Criteria E

Criteria (d) Representativeness
The original configuration of the 1818 lightstation as a compound enclosed on four sides with a central tower and lodges or pavilions located at the four corners, that can be understood from both the physical and documentary evidence, is representative of Greenway's distinctive neo-classical style (also referred to as 'Macquarie Palladian').                                                                                              State/Local Criteria G
The Macquarie Lightstation is representative of the broader urban planning scheme instigated under Governor Macquarie, exhibited particularly in the surviving visual relationship between the place and the former Governor's Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. It is also representative of Macquarie's public works program, being one of over 200 buildings and places he commissioned during his tenure as Governor between 1810 and 1822.  State/Local Criteria G
The Macquarie Lightstation as it was modified and added to by Barnet in 1883, is a good example of Barnet's work and a good example of a mid-Victorian period lightstation and is one of approximately 14 Barnet designed lightstations surviving in NSW (although it is historically distinct and architecturally significant for being a close replica of the original Greenway tower).                                                            State/Local Criteria G
The site of the Macquarie Lighthouse and its immediate surrounds does not contain any uncommon or rare or endangered archaeological sites, or known geological or ecological resources, and the Aboriginal historical records that relate to the place are of a general nature and are representative of the records generated by the colonists during the formative years of Sydney's post 1788 history.                                            State/Local Criteria G

Criteria (e) Aesthetic Values
The Macquarie Lighthouse is of outstanding significance as a Sydney landmark, clearly visible from both the Tasman Sea and points throughout Sydney Harbour. The lighthouse makes a significant contribution to the harbour aesthetically and symbolically as a reminder of the colony's isolation and dependence on shipping and remains one of the principal markers to the entry to Port Jackson as a still functioning navigational aid.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 State/Local Criteria C
