Both lighthouses were designed by Colonial Architect's Office, then under Colonial Architect James Barnet. Tenders were invited in October 1869 by the Public Works Department, and both lighthouses were constructed by Joseph Mather, Wollongong Breakwater Lighthouse in 1872 and Warden Head Lighthouse in 1873.{{sfn|RNE19898}} The original light source was oil wick with a light intensity of 800 cd, with a Chance Brothers optical apparatus, which is still present.
