Complex tent-like web with a 'nest' and lots of juveniles at the top.

That's a lot of young! I think you can definitely increase your abundance count :)
I think the adult has a strong resemblance (except for the presence of bands on the legs) to the top right image of p.330 from Whyte & Anderson (2017) which is said to be a spider from the Achaearanea group. It is also mentioned that "many previous Achaearanea spp. have moved to new genera".
