CCTV, locked gates and restricted access

Hi 

Im in NSW. Our large complex of townhouses and apartments recently had an attempted break in. This townhouse which had no security screens was owned by a new SC member. As aresult the SC decided, without going to AGM/EGM,  to install CCTV and lock the only pedestrian access to the street between the hours of 9pm to 6am. So, If someone needs to call police, ambos, firies they will have to walk out to the front gate ( up to 300 metres for some residents) to let them in.

My first issue is that they decided this at a monthly SC meeting. My second issue is the scary thought of emergency services not getting to aresident in time because they cannot get their vehicle or people in through the front.

Im hoping they are breaking some legislation/guidelines etc that can be used to force them to unlock this gate. But i just cannot find anything in all my searching.
