Sean McCarthy Way Renaming Ceremony

12 March 2018

A submission made by the Highfields RSL Sub Branch to rename Community Court in Highfields to Sean McCarthy Way was approved by Council in 2017.

Signaller Sean Patrick McCarthy enlisted in the Australian Defence Force on 10 July 2001 after completing high school. During his service Sean was killed in a roadside bomb attack in the Uruzgan Province on 8 July 2008, aged 25. He was an former member of the Seventh Signal Regiment (EW) at Cabarlah, lived in Highfields and was very much a part of the local community.

The name Sean McCarthy Way was chosen because Sean used to say there were only two ways of doing things, ‘The wrong way or the Sean McCarthy Way’.

Please join us for the official renaming ceremony to be held along Sean McCarthy Way 17 March 2018, 9.15am for 10am start.
