For governance purposes it is divided between the town of Heron Bay,[5] village of Belledune,[6] the Moose Meadows 4 Indian reserve, and the Restigouche rural district;[7] the town, village, and rural district are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[8]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Belledune, the Indian reserve, and the local service districts of Chaleur and Lorne.[9] The 2023 reform had no effect on Belledune but the community of Benjamin River on the western parish line was annexed by Heron Bay;[6] Lorne and the remainder of Chaleur became part of the Restigouche rural district.[7]
