Chippo to become waterfront land this century
The multi million dollar works underway now in Buckland street and continuing through to July right up to the top of the catchment at Darlington are to separate the sewage and stormwater into two pipe systems so they stop mixing and putting over 30 million litres of raw sewage into Blackwattle Bay beside the Fish Markets; the recent rains here produces several million litres of sewage there.
So far so good. In theory.

Chippo Currency Issued Next Markets Day
This privately-issued currency becomes less valuable the longer you hold onto it. After ten months it has no value; the date of issue will be on each Chippo Dollar along with its expiry date. It loses $1 each month. This means the currency will be used more quickly and will be more useful in the local economy. For examples of successful local community currency projects read: The Future of Money by Lietarr, or www.monbiot.com/archives/2009/01/20/a-better-way-to-make-money/
