History
Great Burstead was an ancient parish. It became part of the Billericay Urban District in 1934 and was abolished in 1937 when all the parishes in that district were merged into a single parish called Billericay. The urban district was renamed Basildon in 1955 and was reformed to become the modern Basildon district in 1974, at which point the district also became an unparished area.[4]
The modern parish of Great Burstead and South Green was formed on 1 September 1996 from part of the unparished area.[5][6] The new parish covers a smaller area than the pre-1937 parish of Great Burstead, which had also included the town of Billericay.[4]

There are three tiers of local government covering Great Burstead and South Green, at parish (village), district, and county level: Great Burstead and South Green Village Council, Basildon Borough Council, and Essex County Council. The village council meets at the South Green Memorial Hall on Southend Road.[7]
Great Burstead village and South Green both form part of the Billericay built up area as defined by the Office for National Statistics. Noak Hill is classed as a separate built up area.[8]
