Supporting a Sustainable
Byron Shire
Welcome to Byron Shire Council’s Sustainable Industry
Business Directory, which builds on the success of our previous
Sustainable Food Directory.
Byron Shire has long been home to many innovative, small
businesses - whether selling hand-made, organic products
or offering energy efficiency, eco-tourism or land restoration
services. These local businesses are part of the transition to a
‘green economy’ and understand that we can protect our natural
environment, whilst making a livelihood at the same time.
Inside, you’ll find eco-tourism operators, artists, retailers,
designers and tradies. These businesses are a vital part of
our local economy and I encourage you to support them. As
consumers, our dollars drive sustainable business practice.
The need for a jobs-rich, sustainable economy has never been
more important. Many of our local businesses understand this
and we’re pleased to showcase them in this Directory.

Mayor of Byron Shire
