Stouffville has hired a new director of Development Services.

Dwayne Tapp has served in various planning roles at the City of Toronto; most recently he was manager of plan review.

“We are very pleased to have Dwayne join our team as our new director of Development Services,” Whitchurch-Stouffville Chief Administrative Officer Rob Adams said. “His experience with planning, zoning and customer service at the City of Toronto will bring a strong skillset to Whitchurch-Stouffville."

Within his roles at the City of Toronto, Tapp was responsible for developing, implementing and administering new divisional policies, programs and procedures, which were designed to streamline planning approval processes and improve customer service.

“Dwayne also resides in the area and knows Stouffville very well -- a tremendous asset to bring to the table,” Adams said.

Tapp's predecessor in the role, Haiqing Xu, left for a deputy city manager position at the City of Vaughan earlier this year.
