If you call Brisbane home, you are happier with your quality of life than residents in any other capital city in the nation, reports brisbanetimes.com.au.

The research was commissioned by Brisbane City Council and conducted by Kantar Public Australia, who surveyed 2404 people from various locations around Australia including Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and south-east Queensland.  

The quality of life rating for Brisbane came in at 93 percent, compared to Perth and Melbourne achieving 89 per cent, followed by Sydney at 76 per cent. 

Brisbane was also the star performer in the “good standard of living” results, with 91 per cent, followed by Perth at 84 per cent, Melbourne at 82 per cent and Sydney falling way behind with 71 per cent. 

Brisbane and south-east Queensland tied with around 75 per cent each in “reasonable cost of living." 

The best place to raise a family also saw Brisbane top the list. 

The survey comes as lord mayor Adrian Schrinner told the Committee for Brisbane if his inaugural State of the City address that the data will be used towards the new "Better Brisbane Index" which will be updated every 12 months. 

The lord mayor said while 93 per cent was a result to “proud of,” while we aren’t at 100 per cent, there is “always work to do.”

Hannah Schuhmann said it’s no wonder the results were so fabulous! With much loved events such as Riverfire on this weekend, and the great new spaces that are being created such a Howard Smith Wharves, it’s hard to top our great city.
