Coldstream Airport (ICAO: YCEM) is a small Australian regional airfield located in the township of Coldstream in Greater Melbourne, Victoria.
The airstrip at Coldstream was established in March 1962 by Jim Doake, and the airport is still owned by the Doake family. From January 1996, the airfield was operated by the Royal Victorian Aero Club as the base for its flight training school. In February 2011, the RVAC committee voted to relinquish its operation of the airfield, and the flying school's chief pilot, Bob Boyd, took over its operation as Yarra Valley Flight Training on 1 August 2011.[3] The runway was sealed in April 2014,[1] and is the only sealed strip in the Yarra Valley.
The airfield is also the base of the Australian Centre for Mission Aviation, a Christian missionary group, which uses the airfield to train their pilots to fly in Papua New Guinea and Arnhem Land.[3]
