representative example of a timber-framed, iron clad tower (Type B), an adaptation by the Queensland Government of the imported prefabricated type using components from the United Kingdom. Dent Lighthouse is important as one of a pair of identical lighthouse towers in the Whitsunday Passage, the other being situated at Cape Cleveland.

The previous comments regarding construction type are also applicable, as are the comments about Cape Cleveland.

Attributes: The structural system and all of the fabric including timber framing and iron cladding.

5.3.4. Aesthetic characteristics (criterion e)
(This criterion is not referred to in the Commonwealth Heritage List)

While the aesthetic value may not be high enough to meet the threshold for Commonwealth listing, it is still a substantial value that warrants conservation.

Attributes: The visual impression of the buildings sitting in a partly cleared, modified and tended landscape.

5.3.5. Technical achievement (criterion f)
(This criterion is not referred to in the Commonwealth Heritage List)

While the level of technical achievement may not be high enough to meet the threshold for Commonwealth listing, it is still a substantial value that warrants conservation.

Attributes: The evidence of the local Queensland design of the timber and iron tower, and the lantern room; the evidence of local manufacture of the tower and lantern.
