For governance purposes it divided between the town of Belle-Baie, the village of Belledune,[5] and the Chaleur rural district,[6] all of which are members of the Chaleur Regional Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between five municipalities and eight local service districts: the town of Beresford, New Brunswick; the villages of Belledune, Nigadoo, Petit-Rocher, and Pointe-Verte; and the LSDs of Dunlop, Laplante,[lower-alpha 1] Madran, Petit-Rocher-Nord (Devereaux), Petit-Rocher-Sud, Robertville, Tremblay, and the parish of Beresford, which in turn had seven named areas (often incorrectly called LSDs) receiving special services when they were created: Alcida and Dauversière; Nicholas-Denys, Free Grant and Sainte-Rosette; Petit Rocher West;[lower-alpha 2] Saint-Laurent Nord; Sainte-Louise; Sainte-Thérèse Sud; and Sormany.[8] In the 2023 reform, Belledune was unaffected, while all the other municipalities were amalgamated to form Belle-Baie, which annexed all populated parts of the LSDs;[5] the Crown land in the rear of the parish became part of the rural district.[6] All community names remain in official use.[9]
