Non-standard Missed Approach Altitudes

G'day,

Was wondering if there was anything to stop you nominating a higher missed approach altitude in uncontrolled airspace.

With controlled airspace it would be a matter of requesting a non-standard altitude.

In uncontrolled airspace, can you nominate a higher altitude if you inform the ATS unit responsible for passing traffic info to others and also the nattended traffic for area of intended approachy7

Example, a NDB approach has a company specified circling minima of 1200ft, the published MAPP altitude is 2300ft. that 1100ft can go pretty quick with an initial GA climb in excess 2500fpm.

Is there anything specifically preventing us nominating 4000ft as a non-standard altitude, to allow an easier time of the turning MAPP procedure? Assuming we inform an ATS unit and the unattended traffic frequency...
