The Spit Lighthouse

Parriwi Road, The Spit

The light is of State significance as part of a group of navigational lights and beacons that collectively form the core of the navigational  system for Sydney Harbour  which enable it to operate as  a world class port. The Lighthouse is of architectural significance as a notable example of a purpose-built structure housing a navigation aid.  The tall imposing tower has architectural quality and is a dominant feature of the maritime landscape of Middle Harbour, particularly when viewed from the direction of the Heads.  It has visual unity with Grotto Point Lighthouse.
