Brisbane residents are happier with their quality of life than residents of every other Australian capital city, according to research commissioned by Brisbane City Council.

In his inaugural State of the City address to the Committee for Brisbane on Wednesday, lord mayor Adrian Schrinner will present new data on the city's quality of life.

The data was sourced from research conducted by Kantar Public Australia, which surveyed 2402 people through online interviews, using residents from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and south-east Queensland areas.

In his speech, Cr Schrinner notes the government of Bhutan, a remote, landlocked country between Tibet and India, as publishing a "gross national happiness index".
