Wait, What?! My fave Australian car manufacturer is going to be defunct at 2017?
So this is the last year Holden still makes rebadged Chevrolet and Opel?

Not exactly:

On 11 December 2013, Holden announced that it will cease vehicle and engine production by the end of 2017, however, the company will continue to have a large and ongoing presence in Australia importing and selling cars as national sales company.

Holden will still exist as a brand, but will no longer produce its own vehicles. This means the end of the long-running Holden Commodore (Chevy SS, Vauxhall VXR8), while other Holdens will be rebadged cars imported from overseas.

Opel is no longer exits in Australia since 2013, Vauxhall doesn't sell their vehicles in Australia in a favor of Holden (which it will be dead in 2017) If this Astra is a Holden, then it would be a 2015 model and finally home.

But still, this Astra remains as a 2012 Vauxhall model because its 3D model is reused from older Forza games.

Why Vauxhall and not Opel?
