MacArthur Central, also known as MacArthur Central Shopping Centre, is a modern four level shopping centre that incorporates an English Renaissance styled heritage-listed building known as MacArthur Chambers. MacArthur Central is located at 229-259 Queen Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, that is, on the north-east corners of Queen Street, Edward Street and Elizabeth Street. The MacArthur Chambers building is notable for its wartime association with General Douglas MacArthur, who used the building as the Allied forces' South West Pacific Area Headquarters from July 1942 to November 1944.〔(General Headquarters (GHQ), South West Pacific Area, Queen Street, Brisbane ) — ABC〕〔(MacArthur's war chambers, Brisbane ) retrieved 15 January 2007〕〔(American Headquarters during World War II )〕 ==Features== A feature of the MacArthur Chambers building (and until recently of all buildings that were owned by the AMP Society) is a three figure statue above the portico entrance of the Queen Street façade of the building, sculptured in Sicilian marble by Fred Gowan,〔 representing: "''Strength, Plenty, Production and Growth''".
