Melbourne is the only Australian city to make the top 10 in the latest Global Liveability Index – but it could easily have missed out.
While Sydney failed to make the top 10 in 2021, Adelaide leapt to third spot. The New Zealand cities of Auckland and Wellington also did well because they had been spared the worst of COVID-19. Brisbane’s time in the sun was brief, with the 2032 Olympic host city slipping to 27th place, passing Sydney on the way. Adelaide, meanwhile, went from third to 30th place.The New Zealand cities fell the furthest, with Auckland now ranked 34th and Wellington 50th – below Perth, which is 32nd.
“By keeping international borders closed in early 2021, the country had witnessed much lower caseloads and fatality rates. But its healthcare infrastructure has come under pressure more recently. Owing to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the first quarter of 2022, these cities have seen their healthcare system suffer as compared to a year ago.”
