Fort Lytton is currently managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and it was declared a National Park in 1989 for its outstanding cultural heritage values. National Parks staff and community based volunteers from the Fort Lytton Historical Association have worked to preserve and interpret the cultural record of the site. In order to help the interpretation of the site, a number of reconstructed artillery pieces have been installed. In 2013, digital documentation of the site was undertaken using the Zebedee handheld 3D laser developed by CSIRO. The mapping system was trialled at Fort Lytton through a collaboration of CSIRO, the University of Queensland's School of Architecture and the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service.
