At last week’s Dunedin City Council meeting, property services group manager Anna Nilsen said the facility’s roof was "definitely" coming to the end of its life. The cost of repairs to the Dunedin Ice Stadium roof following damage by intense winds in October is nearing $100,000, the city council says.
