A film crew from Mission: Impossible 6 did not follow the rule-book when shooting near Queenstown.
Despite the "procedural oversight", the Queenstown Lakes District Council confirms New Zealand film company DWTT Productions escaped punishment.
Last month, Mountain Scene reported local photographer Blair Pattinson raised safety concerns about filming near Skippers Canyon bridge.
The council granted a filming consent to DWTT, a subsidiary of US movie giant Viacom.
