Former governance

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, there were four villages and six LSDs at least partly in the parish. For convenience, this list runs from east to west, with the former LSD at the end. All LSDs in the Acadian Peninsula RSC provide basic LSD services plus street lighting and community & recreation services; [14] New Bandon-Salmon Beach and the parish of New Bandon do not provide street lighting.

Maisonnette was on the tip of the peninsula between Caraquet Bay and Chaleur Bay. It was an LSD from 1967 [15] until it became a village in 1986.

Poirier (LSD) ran along Route 303, fronting on Caraquet Bay. The single community is Village-des-Poirier. Established in 1987. [16]

Anse-Bleue (LSD, French Anse Bleue) ran along Route 320, between Maisonnette and Grande-Anse, with an inland extension along Route 303. Established in 1968 [17] to add street lighting.

Bertrand included the Village Historique Acadien Provincial Park and grants along the northern bank of the Caraquet River upriver to opposite the end of Émery Lane.

Dugas (LSD) ran along Dugas Road on the northern border of the Village Historique Acadien. Established in 1979 [18] to add street lighting.

Grande-Anse ran primarily along the Chaleur Bay coast, with an inland area along Route 330 that includes the community of Saint-Paul.

Saint-Léolin was inland, bordering Grande-Anse and running along Route 330 and the western end of Chemin des Boudreau. The Saint-Joseph Settlement grants form the core of the village. It was an LSD from 1969 [19] until it became a village in 1978.

The Paroisse Notre-Dame-des-Érables (LSD) extended into the parish along Route 340, taking in the northern part of the community of Rocheville. Established in 1986. [20] An area west of grants along Route 340 is disputed with New Bandon-Salmon Beach, with maps issued by the two RSCs reflecting the dispute.

New Bandon-Salmon Beach (LSD) included coastal grants west from the community of New Bandon, extending into Bathurst Parish to the eastern border of Bathurst. Inland, the eastern boundary of the LSD followed grant lines along and near the Hornibrook Road until it reached the edge of Rocheville, then skirted around Rocheville before following the parish line. Clifton, Stonehaven, and Janeville are along the coast; Canobie, Canobie South and Springfield Settlement in the interior. Established in 1976. [21]

The parish of New Bandon (LSD) comprised the remainder of the parish, surrounded by Grande-Anse, Saint-Léolin, and Bertrand on the east, New Bandon-Salmon Beach and The Paroisse Notre-Dame-des-Érables on the west. Route 135 connected the coast to the parish line at the Caraquet River opposite Burnsville. Pokeshaw and Black Rock were the two communities. Established in 1969 to provide fire protection; [22] the associated taxing authority is called New Bandon Outside.

St. Paul (St-Paul) was an LSD along the northern edge of Saint-Léolin. It was established in 1977; [23] a subdivision along Route 330 was annexed by Saint-Léolin in 1986; most of the LSD was annexed by Grande-Anse in 1989, with the remainder returned to the LSD of the parish of New Bandon.

In 2017, the Municipalities Act was replaced by the Local Governance Act, which continued the Local Service Districts Regulation.
