Where it runs

The centre of the water as OpenStreetMap draws it, centrelines, not banks, and not every reach carries water year-round. The faint outlines are suburbs.

Questions, answered briefly

How long is Hoon Hay Valley Stream?

2.5 km as mapped, 2 ways in the open map, crossing 3 suburbs.

Which suburbs does Hoon Hay Valley Stream pass through?

Halswell, Kennedys Bush, Westmorland.

Is the line on the map the whole waterway?

It’s the centreline, the middle of the water as mapped on OpenStreetMap, not its banks. A line says where it runs, not how wide it is or whether it carries water today.

The record behind this

The line is OpenStreetMap’s, every named way tagged river, stream, drain or canal inside the city boundary, merged by name (ODbL). A line says where a waterway runs, not how wide it is; the live gauges are instruments, kept on /rivers.
