You may (after a suitable period of notice) have the right to move the vehicle (to a legal parking spot), but I would strongly suggest you do not dispose of it.
What “right” is that? As a far as I can tell, the law comes down firmly on the side of the vehicle owner which may not be clamped or towed without the owner’s consent.
But Kangaroo is right. The tarpaulin business does make a difference. I would ask the strata manager to send a notice to all owners and residents telling them that a vehicle has been wrongly stored in a private parking space and giving them seven days to move it before “action” is taken to remove the vehicle and charge for the use of the space.
Or you could do this yourself.
I would say there’s a strong likelihood that and absentee owner has mistakenly stored the vehicle in the wrong space and has no idea that there is all this trouble around it.
Failing that, drag the car on to common property and let the Owners Corp know how it feels when someone washes their hands of a problem.
