Hi Guys
I drove ford HQ the other day and saw bins and temporary fencing in front of the building. I know shutting down in October but I thought the building might still be used or will it be demolished because that's what it looks like?

maybe it is true quote article - Ford Australia is about to split the headquarters of its local operations, with its sales, marketing and service teams to move to the inner-Melbourne suburb of Richmond from mid-2015. The new white collar HQ in Richmond will house about 200 staff. Located close to Melbourne’s CBD and associated amenities, Ford says the new base will bring obvious benefits to employee satisfaction. The current Broadmeadows site sits in an industrial region. At the same time, Ford’s current Broadmeadows base in Melbourne’s outer north — which features its soon-to-close car plant — will be turned into a dedicated ‘product development campus’ occupied by its large research, development and design team. As such, the company’s current head office will be refurbished to accommodate these different staffers. The established research and testing operations in Geelong, and at the proving ground in Lara, will continue uninterrupted. All told, Ford will spend about $300 million on its Broadmeadows-based Asia-Pacific Engineering Centre this year, which serves as the hub of product development for the entire Asia Pacific region.
