A local master plan defines the broad lines of the municipality’s development and the use of the plan area in general terms. A local master plan can, as needed, be drawn up either as a local master plan covering the whole municipality or as a partial local master plan covering a specific sub-area. It may also be shared by several municipalities. A local master plan steers the detailed plan and may, in terms of its legal effect, be either binding or an ordinary local master plan.

The areas of the Kirkonkylä and Kuvansi built-up areas are covered by local master plans. In addition, most of the shores of Joroinen are covered by local master plans. The shore master plans are the Saimaa area shore master plan and the Maavesi-Sysmä-Paro water area shore master plan.
