If the issue is ongoing it would be worth bringing the issue up with one of your owners corporation members and arrange internal mediation.

In NSW, an owners corporation can move or remove a vehicle that blocks an exit or entrance. It may only do so if it has first placed a removal notice on or near the motor vehicle, and the requirements of the notice are not complied with within the period specified in the notice.
