    I have repeatedly requested the executive committee of the owners corporation to remove these bollards and relocate them closer to the wall but they claim it is a fire safety requirement.

    What do you suggest?  

    Just as there are fire safety laws, there are minimum turning circle standards enshrined in your DA.  Tell your EC to seriously investigate an alternative method of keeping the fire door clear – including signage, a painted area on the floor and re-positioning of the bollards to allow for easier and safer access for you.  If they fail to do so, get your own opinion from your local fire department and then take them to NCAT.
