I suggest the easiest and fastest way to do something about this is to contact your local Council immediately and tell them what is happening. From what you have outlined about the works, it is likely that they need Council approval.
If works require Council approval they must first be approved by the Owners Corporation and then the plans submitted to Council.
The Council has the power to stop works immediately in such a case. We did that a few years ago where an owner just went ahead with quite extensive renovations with no approvals.
In terms of the scope of the works, if the owner misled the OC in that regard then the approval isn’t valid, to the extent that the works are inconsistent with what was disclosed.
