The government and the community. It is not a dance amongst equals. Nor should it be. Each has their own roles. This essay seeks to explore the roles and mutual expectations of the community and government on the dance floor of heritage – cultural and natural. It looks at the expectations each has of the other, and the basis of those expectations, along with how those expectations have changed over time and will certainly change in the future.
