Occupants in our basement car park have taken to removing bollards that protect the egress routes. Now a car has been parked on an egress route blocking an emergency exit door and fire hose access. It’s been there for over two weeks.
What can the OC do now? Is it negligent to do nothing?
What will the OC be able to do when the new Act and Regs come into effect?

Yes, the EC should do something. First put a note on the car if you don’t know whose it is. Talk then write to the car owner if you know who it is. You have a responsibility to make sure that safety features of the property are not compromised. If nice and polite gets no result then a ‘notice to comply’ or ‘rules infringement notice’ (depends on the relevant state jargon) is appropriate and the first step to taking legal action to get the car moved.
In the first instance get a paper trail of showing you are trying to get it moved.
