The Australian man will be sentenced next month - after earlier pleading guilty to 51 charges of murder, 40 of attempted murder, and one of terrorism.
Police say they didn't receive any reports of a drone in the area, in the lead-up to March 15.
But they say they discovered the January flight as part of the criminal investigation that followed.
A spokesperson says they were planning to use it as evidence during the prosecution.
