Pamela Anderson says she has some doubt about the future of her development project on the Ladysmith waterfront.

The famous model and actor commented on the proposed residential complex when she was spotted on a shopping trip along First Avenue in Ladysmith on Wednesday.

After some consultation and revisions to the design, town council decided to support the six-building development, which would be located at the northern end of Chemainus Road.

“I want to live here and I want to be able to enjoy it for my family. So I’m trying to decide how much I want to develop it — if I want to go through with the full development or if I just want to recreate the cabins that my grandma had and maybe live there the rest of my life and do what she did,” Anderson told the Chronicle on June 3.

“My dad wants to develop it. I want to keep it like my grandma had it, so it’s a struggle,” she said.

Anderson’s project, called Arcadia at Oyster Bay, has garnered widespread local attention, and even grabbed headlines from media outlets drawn to the celebrity angle.

In response to public criticism last year, the developers lowered the height of the two tallest buildings proposed for the family owned property. Those and other concessions paved the way for council to grant key development permits in August 2008, but the project is still far from the construction stage.

Locals often catch a glimpse of Anderson, who was born and grew up in Ladysmith, when she pops by to visit her home in the area. But during her stroll around the town’s quaint retail area on a sunny morning this week, the 41-year-old celebrity attracted little attention from the few people on the street.

She was accompanied by her father, Barry Anderson, and boyfriend, Jamie Padgett.

Anderson said she was on the outing to visit her aunt and shop for a boat.

“My dad and my boyfriend want to go fishing, so that’s what we’re doing next,” said Anderson, who declined to be photographed.

“It’s great to be home,” she added.
