List of lighthouses in Australia

The lighthouses and lightvessels of Australia are listed in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency List of Lights publication 111.[5] They are listed by the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office on volume K of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals.[6] The ARLHS World List of Lights lists them with the prefix "AUS".[7]

On The Lighthouse Directory, the lighthouses of Australia are listed according to their location:

• Coral Sea Islands Territory[8]
• New South Wales, including Cape St George Lighthouse which is in Jervis Bay Territory.[9]
• Northern Territory[10]
• Queensland's East Coast, from Townsville southwards[11]
• Far North Queensland[12]
• South Australia[13]
• Tasmania[14]
• Victoria[15]
• Western Australia[16]

Another listing is held by Lighthouses of Australia Inc., which lists lighthouses by state[17]

• Western Australia[18]
• Northern Territory[19]
• South Australia[20]
• Queensland[21]
• New South Wales[22]
• Victoria[23]
• Tasmania[24]

Another list exists at Australian Lighthouses, a website which includes both an A-Z list[25] and a list by state.[26]

A list also exists at SeaSide Lights, which lists lighthouses by state:[27]

• Western Australia[28]
• Northern Territory[29]
• South Australia[30]
• Queensland[31]
• New South Wales[32]
• Victoria[33]
• Tasmania[34]

In order to be listed below, an active lighthouse has to appear at least in one of The Lighthouse Directory, Lighthouses of Australia Inc. or SeaSide Lights. Other lists mentioned above include many lights which are hard to describe as "lighthouses".[35] Historical lighthouses were sometimes included when they are mentioned in other reliable sources.

Most of the lighthouses and lightvessels in Australia are managed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), though the AMSA usually only manages the lighting equipment, with local authorities managing the lighthouses and parklands. In New South Wales the lighthouses and parklands are mostly managed by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water or the New South Wales Department of Lands.[9] In the Northern Territory some of the lighthouses are managed by the Darwin Port Corporation.[10] In South Australia some of the stations are managed by the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources.[13] In Tasmania, many lighthouses are managed by the Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service.[14] In Victoria, harbour aids are maintained by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in the Melbourne area and by the Victorian Regional Channels Authority elsewhere,[36] while parklands are mostly managed by Parks Victoria.[15] In Western Australia some of the stations are managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation.
