In 2012, a glass ceiling panel shattered and the Dunedin City Council responded byadding a protective film to the ceiling to prevent it happening again. A ceiling panel would be broken and monitored to see how the protective film performed in holding up the broken glass, Dr McElhone said. Preparations for the replacement of glass facade panels at the mall would also start tomorrow. The new glass meant protective film was no longer needed, she said.
