The research commissioned by Brisbane City Council has found that local residents are happier with their quality of life that residents of every other Australian capital city.
Lord mayor Adrian Schrinner says that the council has collated the data for a new “Better Brisbane Index” to be updated annually.
The research finds Brisbane residents report a 93% quality-of-life rating, compared with Melbourne and Perth residents who reported an 89% rating and Sydney residents who reported a 76% rating.
