1   Objective/rationale                                      An AtoN is required at Cape Byron to mark the conspicuous rocky peninsular and to provide both a landfall mark from seaward and a mark for coastal navigation.

                                                             It is also required by ships to check their position in relation to the Environmentally Sensitive Sea Area (ESSA) that extends for 3 nautical miles offshore.

                                                             An auxiliary light is required to guard over Julien Rocks that lie 1.5 nautical miles offshore to the north of Cape Byron. This assists ships in navigating to charted anchorage that lies to the north west of Cape Byron.
