If it is your unit area as shown on the strata plan, then no, there is no reason why the area should be treated as common property. There are mechanisms to grant exclusive use of parts of the common property to individual unit owners but I am unaware of the converse. In principle, I guess, a unit owner could lease a part of their unit area to the owners corporation but I have never heard of that happening.
I would think you could renovate your garden including this corner and the owners corporation would have no recourse if its path was blocked. However, I suggest you don’t just go ahead without discussion.
I’d suggest writing to the OC giving generous notice of your plans to use this area so they can re-route the path.
