    The parking spaces were originally designated visitor spaces however that was changed at the AGM.

    And there’s your problem.  As Whale explained, if those spaces were designated for visitors under your Development Approval, then your building is in breach of its DA.  A call to your local council planning department could fix this immediately. Your Owners Corp can’t pass by-laws that contravene superior laws (like planning regulations). Once the spaces are re-designated visitors parking, then you can move people on.

    By the way, your Owners Corp can still define what a visitor is, in terms of the length of time they are allowed to park there.  But they can’t just open them up to general use for owners.
