There's been a disagreement over the bright orange colour of giant letters which spell out 'Beaufort Street' in the City of Vincent. <\/p>\n
Giant concrete letters spelling out Beaufort Street in the heart of Mount Lawley have had passers-by scratching their heads for months as the artwork has remained behind security fencing. <\/p>\n
Signage appeared alongside the public artwork in recent months informing residents that the City of Vincent was working hard to finalise this artwork but the sign located on Beaufort Street in front of a car park, gives no suggestion as to why there's been a delay. <\/p>\n
The large concrete words should have been painted and unveiled to the public in December but instead it has been fenced off and untouched since about October. <\/p>\n
A sign has been put up on fencing reassuring people that the artwork is not finished yet. <\/p>\n
City of Vincent Mayor John Carey said the City had been in contractual negotiations with the company responsible for producing the piece. <\/p>\n

Effectively there has been a dispute and we are coming to a resolution now, he said. <\/p>\n
Mr Carey told Fairfax Media that as discussions were taking place he could not say what the issue was but did say that once the matter was settled, changes to the appearance of the sign may be made. <\/p>\n
It is understood that the City is not happy with the burnt yellow and orange colours and the finish of the artwork. <\/p>\n
