The North Mole Lighthouse began operation in 1906 at entrance to Fremantle Harbour. The occulting red light emitted from a fixed lightsource at a focal plane height of 15 metres (49 ft) above sea level is visible for 11 miles (18 km) and indicates the westernmost point of the harbour and its entrance. The lighthouse established permanent service from 1906; after the mole’s foundations had settled a temporary lighting arrangement there was discharged.
