As an iconic bayside landmark, the Leading Lights are a significant part of the Port Melbourne landscape, and have been listed on the Victorian and National Trust heritage registers, as they are an architecturally and historically significant pair. In conjunction, the connecting easement is an important feature marking the line of sight between the two lights and through the channel. The lights have a historic and social significance as part of the complete navigation system for Port Philip Bay and the Port of Melbourne. As an important visual link between the Princes and Station Piers, they also reflect the functional link between these places in the pattern of shipping during the 1920s and 1930s.
