UPDATE 1st July, 2009

Six Months, alot of (card)board boxes(!!!!!!), alot of people, new friendships and a co-op in the mix. A pretty half year for Chippo residences!

Folks - a quick reminder for our working bee in the road gardens here this coming SundayIt's time to use up the $1,000 grant council gave us this month to maintain the gardens and put in some more plants

We start at 11 am.

Meet at 59 Myrtle for jobs and briefing

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.

Nathan with chippo dollar

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/
