The vast majority of the worlds airports do not require specific tracking for the engine out case....maintain RWY HDG, notify ATC, request radar vectors, they will keep you clear of terrain, restricted airspace etc....some airports like HKG, RWY 07 require a specific procedure to avoid terrain....with regard to SYD my old airline in OZ off RWY 34 was RWY heading to 6 DME, turn right to HDG 060, I later flew for an Asian Carrier and their procedure was a left turn after take-off heading 150...go figure..?
Every runway requires a takeoff flight path assessment. The local ATC is not in that business, nor could they possibly be. Also, not every airport by any means has terminal ATC radar. And, where they do, controllers can not and do not have knowledge of the exact location of obstacles below MVA.
