Hobart r/w 30 Pitt Water SID

Does anyone have experiences they can share of flying the Hobart 30 Pitt Water visual SID?

As part of a project on design of turning departures in Euroland I've been looking at examples elsewhere and the Hobart 30 is one of the more interesting ones. However I was surprised to see on the plate that there are no minimum bank angle or maximum speed restrictions, no DME or other specified limit on how far north you're allowed to go, and no type/weight restriction.

I presume it's simply left to flight ops departments to work out if they can fly the SID in given conditions. But what procedures do airlines apply to judge the flyability? And how do you deal with engine failure scenarios - e.g. on a heavy departure, starting the right turn below 500ft, then suffering an engine failure when you're, say, 30 degrees round the turn and now pointing straight at the 914/938ft hills, what's the escape route?

Thanks for any info you can share
