For governance purposes, the southern part of the parish is part of the incorporated rural community of Fundy Shores,[5] while the north is part of the Southwest rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission.[7]
Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised a single local service district (LSD), which was a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC).[8]
The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station is the parish's most notable feature and is located near its eastern border.
