The sale is set to fund a $6 million worship centre on the St John’s Church site.

Moran Health Care Group managing director Peter Moran said both parties were working through the finer details of the sale.

“We are just sorting through some paperwork,” he said. “It’s just timing.”

Mr Moran previously told the Chronicle the company would look to invest $30 million into a multi-denominational aged care facility.
