I believe not.

Australia uses PANS-OPS and our AIP says:
Note 3. The circling area is determined by drawing an arc centred on the threshold of each usable runway and joining these arcs by tangents.
The radii are1.68NM for Category A, 2.66NM for Category B, 4.20NM for Category C, 5.28NM for Category D and 6.94NM for Category E.

Even moving TERPS Cat C out to 2.7nm is still stretching the friendship for the reasons Tescoapp describes; 1.7nm in a jet was just ludicrous and it is a wonder it lasted so long.
