The roof was removed from the mall during upgrades.
Initially, it was suggested it would be reused at Riverbend Park.
However, the site has now been completed and the roof is still sitting beside the river.
The council's acting director of infrastructure services Matthew Skirving confirmed the roof had been salvaged.
"There were some thoughts around potential applications at Riverbend Park which are still being considered," he said.
"Council is also actively considering other potential re-use applications."
