The consent for the sand mining trail allows the company to collect sand and minerals off Cobden Beach, and to stockpile 2200 tonnes of sand. The regional council did not publicly notify the application, and the only affected party to object was Kahuna Boardriders, who are now appealing the decision through the Environment Court.

Surfers and residents are discussing ways of raising funds to aid the Environment Court appeal. Cobden residents are selling raffles, holding a combined garage sale and selling bumper stickers to fund the appeal, which could cost $20,000
