The French composer (?) Yann Tiersen does this quite a lot with his 
music and he just places the ottava bracket all along the whole repeated 
section but writes it in the lower range first. He doesn't even bother 
as far as I can see in the limited scores I have seen, to tell the 
player to play it 'normal' first and then 'an octave higher' the next 
time round. It is assumed I suppose.
