Sir Hubert and Lady (Mavys) Opperman resided at [[Edgewater Towers]], St Kilda, Victoria, from the day it opened in 1961 until their move to a Wantirna retirement village in the late 1980s. "They left the 'glorious' views of their St Kilda home for the smog free air at the foot of the Dandenongs".<ref>For "Oppy" and partner a diamond celebration, by David Bruce, Age Newspaper, 14 January 1988, Page 1.</ref> The [[Edgewater Towers]] project was the brain child of Opperman's friend and sponsor [[Bruce Small]]. The Oppermans had two flats on the 6th floor facing the bay and he was often seen bicycling along the foreshore wearing his signature black beret.<ref>Edgewater Towers, Melbourne Open House Tour Script 2013 including testimony of longtime residents.</ref>
