If the plan is for QSAC to be good enough to host annual World Athletics events then it is worth the spend.That didn’t sound all that salty. Just a description of what has transpired and the ridiculousness of spending $1.6B on a temporary stadium that will never be used again when you could upgrade/reconfigure the Gabba to 45K AND rebuild Suncorp at 65K for the $2.6B total that they are spending on the three venues.
The World Athletics Diamond League has an annual event at this tiny stadium in New York.

QSAC at 14k will be almost three times as big.
So much can be done with QSAC. It should be turned into a boutique athletics stadium and host World Athletics events and international speedway.Qsac doesn't need a train line, they'll just extend the busway which is just as effective.
In terms of an inconvenient location, have you been to Garden City and the surrounds? Brisbane's southside is home to upwards of 1.2m people and the Stadium pretty much sits at the end of the Ipswich Motorway, essentially opening it up to the population of the west also.
