Mercato on Byron is the newest and most sustainable retail destination in Byron Bay. Mercato on Byron has set a new standard for modern retail projects nationwide, following the demolition of the current precinct, which generated a momentous recycling project. The new centre has received Australia's first 5 Star Green Star Design Rating for shopping centres.

Mercato on Byron includes a Woolworths supermarket, a nine-screen Palace Cinema, high-quality restaurants, bars and specialty boutique stores. This is the first commercial development of its kind to be approved in the area for many years and has been a successful joint venture between Azzura and Wingate.
