This is essentially an “empowering” by-law. 

Under section 43 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 1996, by-laws may be made in relation to “the details of any common property of which the use is restricted”. 

An owners corporation can also include conditions such as the executive committee approval with respect of access. However, you make a reasonable point in stating that the EC members currently on the committee may change therefore shifting this power to any new EC members in the future. 

If you are going to propose to amend the by-law, you may want to suggest that the Strata Manager be delegated this power to avoid any conflicting interests of EC members.
