AN abusive graffiti attack on Clive Palmer's Sunshine Coast resort is being investigated by police.

Resort general manager Bill Schoch told The Courier-Mail he was not sure whether the vandalism at the entry to the Palmer Coolum Resort was politically motivated.

"The timing seems coincidental though,'' Mr Schoch, who will run for Mr Palmer's party in the seat of Fisher, said.

"Police are looking into it and we have been cleaning it up today.''

The words sprayed at the main gate, included "no to Clive'' and "wot's a man without his wealth'', along with some expletives.

Mr Schoch said it was the second vandalism incident at the resort within a few days.

He said trespassers had grabbed golf buggies earlier in the week and torn up part of the golf course "doing wheelies''.

Security is being stepped up at the resort, which is covered by surveillance cameras.

The property was also tagged with abusive material last July and Palmer billboards have been subjected to graffiti in the past
