He was known for his immense wealth, generosity, and contributions to Bendigo's prosperity. His mansion, Fortuna, was one of the most lavish in the colony. The Big 180 mine, owned by Lansell, was the deepest in the Southern Hemisphere by 1895 and yielded significant gold output. Lansell and his partners extracted an estimated three million pounds worth of gold from the Big 180. Lansell was celebrated for his philanthropy, supporting public institutions, charities, and miners in need. Upon his death in 1906, he left shares in his mines to employees and set up a trust fund for widows and orphans of Bendigo miners.

The opening is part of a broader community consultation process ahead of the property's eventual sale. Visitors will be able to tour the Villa and its grounds, but the level of access is still being discussed with heritage consultants. Details about the consultation process and the timeline for the property's disposal remain undecided, as site investigations are ongoing.
