At my current company, our regular business hours are 8:30-5pm, however I am a salary employee and have worked 7:30-4pm (this is documented and approved in our internal HR system by our executive team) for the last 5-6 years. The company is now trying to change my hours from 7:30-4 to 8-430 however I am not interested in this. They are introducing a "flex" system where you can choose to start at 8, 830, or 9 but I would rather keep my 730 as it has been this way for a long time. Are they able to change my hours or is there anything that can be done?

A 30 minute change to your start time and end time could amount to a constructive dismissal. However, before asserting constructive dismissal, I recommend you contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine whether you can insist on keeping your current schedule.
