I doubt if there is anything specific in the Act but this will certainly be covered by one or many of your council Development Approval, your original strata plan and by-laws.
If the DA designated the parking spot as a car park, than building a cage and using it for storage is a change of use which requires permission.
Our building uses The Box Thing as an effective compromise and, despite their steadfast reluctance to sponsor this website, I am happy to say they provide an excellent product.
