Looks like a Black house spider, but additional images from different angles are needed to confirm. The colour is not typical of Black house spider; this could be a recently moulted individual, yet to colour-up properly.

could this be Badumna longinqua, or Brown House spider; given its lighter appearance, banded legs and patterning?

Yes that's possible, Stuart.
