For clarity, this is one of three scenarios being examined. As it stands, this is unlikely to be the preferred option, to my understanding.
This one is much more expensive, were it to be pursued, it would almost certainly come with the condition of extending the Tripartite agreement substantially.
Note that in this option there is a discussion of facilitating a future pedestrian path along the airport perimeter, but there is no commitment to undertake that work initially.
Also, such a path, being cumbersome in route was it would be, would be something in excess of 1.5km to reach the Island Park system from the current pedestrian tunnel, a bit over 2.6km to reach Hanlan's Beach.

The other interesting thing is that the proponent describes the area as the Island Transport Lands which is new and is an important signal. Btw I see a massive parking garage being proposed here.
